So, how big is that family? 10, 20, maybe 30 people? Well, Ziona Chana has 39 wives, 94 children, 33 grandchildren and 14 daughters in law, adding up to 181 people, including Mr. Chana himself. The ginourmous family resides in India, in a four story building with approximately one hundred rooms. For only one meal, 30 chicken need to be plucked, 132lb of potatoes have to be peeled, and 220lb of rice have to be boiled.
Mr. Chana, however, is not bothered by the huge family he has to maintain; he states that he feels like God's special child, taking care of so many people and being loved by so many wives. The wives take turns sleeping with him each night, the rest sleep in a huge communal bedroom.

According to one of the wives, there are no discussions; the family works on love and respect. Besides from Mr. Chana overviewing the family, the oldest wife, Zathiangi, leads the chores such as washing, preparing meals, etc.
Mr. Chang has not yet finished his search for new wives. He says he would even go to the U.S. in order to find his 40th wife.
