We have seen much discussion on Soham- Gauri. Whether he is good enough for her, whether she can ever fall in love with an illiterate man and so on.
This brings me to a scene in Jodha Akbar. When the mighty emperor Akbar reveals that he is illiterate. We did not see Jodha, a highly accomplished woman, falling out of love with him thereafter. Let me clarify that we are only discussing the film and not what really may or may not have happened between them. So, let us please not turn this into a debate on lack of knowledge of history!
Anyway, getting back to the point, the fact that Akbar was a powerful king made up for his lack of education. Of course, we don't have kings today but we do have uneducated rulers. And we do see highly accomplished women marry them despite their lack of an education.
If Soham had remained a goon, he may have become a bahubali and a ruler some day. Then, women like Gauri may have fallen for him. So, was he better off being a goon then? Instead of becoming a good man, both illiterate and powerless? We have seen so many women fall for power after all!
In today's world, power seems to be a greater incentive than education. This is all my point is! Other than that, It makes no difference to me who marries whom!
