November 17, 2022: When the world is moving towards nuclear families, a rare family in Maharashtra’s Solapur is grabbing all the eyeballs with 72 members living under one roof.

 

Family


Yes, you read that right! Four generations of a Maharashtrian family, including elderly people, men, women and children live under the same roof, depicting an example of a beautiful Indian joint family.

A DAY IN BIG INDIAN JOINT FAMILY

The Doijode family, that runs a trading business, needs 10 litres of milk daily and consumes vegetables worth Rs 1000-1200 for each meal.

Originally from Karnataka, the Doijode family had moved to Solapur about 100 years ago.

A BBC video shared by Twitter user Ananth Rupanagudi features the big joint family. In the video, Ashwin Doijode, a family member, says, "We have such a huge family that we need 10 litres of milk in the morning and evening. Vegetables worth approximately 1,000-1,200 INR are eaten in each meal. Non-vegetarian meals are three to four times more expensive."

Meanwhile, women of the family said that they were initially worried about the number of family members, but now, they get along well with the entire family.

"Initially I felt intimidated by the scale of this family. But everyone helped me. My mother-in-law, sister and brothers-in-law helped me settle down," said Naina Doijode, a daughter-in-law.

NETIZENS REACT

Netizens were delighted to see the big Indian joint family and poured in love, praising the Indian culture. "The beauty of an Indian joint family- the 72-member Doijode family of Solapur!" Rupanagudi captioned the video on which a user commented, "So fortunate. Truly blessed".
