In South there is the concept of ‘chinna veedu’ which literally means ‘small house’. This concept was brought to Bollywood by the Sexy South Indian Sirens of yore. Hema Malini was the first when she married He-Man Garam Dharam and set up a chinna veedu. She managed to give it respectability with her dignity. Sridevi was the next when she married Boney Kapoor. Apli Marathi Mulgi Smita Patil was not behind promoting this trend when she married Raj Babbar. You may not know but Rekha also comes from a chinna veedu. She is the daughter of Gemini Ganesan from his second wife. So is Kanimozhi, her father Karunanidhi has multiple chinna veedus. The bigger the man the more chinna veedus. Somebody has justified this by saying ‘if you marry one woman she will fight with you and if you marry two they will fight for you’. Why doesn’t the law swing into action? After all bigamy is illegal. In Hema Malini’s case when the police were asked they replied “only if the first wife lodges a complaint can we act. Cohabitation is not illegal.
