For Indonesian audiences, Surinder Sahni is not just a character; he is an ideal of the modern yet traditional husband—someone who may not be the hero of the cinema, but is the hero of his home. The film remains a touching reminder that God’s plan for a couple often transcends human expectations.

In the context of Indian cinema, the "hero" is often portrayed as a hyper-masculine figure capable of fighting villains and commanding the screen. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi subverts this trope through the character of Surinder Sahni.
