From the very start of the ride, Zeenat balances being both understanding and discerning when it comes to her idea of a meaningful date. She shares her perspective, stating, “I have been self-reliant and the primary provider for my family since the age of 17. I have been in relationships where I have pulled my weights and done what is necessary, and my sons have grown up witnessing that. Every relationship that they have had is with women who embody strength, opinions and choices - and they keep that as the norm because they have been raised by a mother who is just that."

She concludes by emphasizing on the importance of parents raising their sons to respect and empower women, underscoring that her elder son is single and she takes great pride and admires her younger son’s girlfriend.

During the ride, Zeenat places a strong emphasis on women achieving financial independence. She states, “Every woman should be confident and capable of financially supporting themselves. This allows them to make choices for themselves and control their own future. When women have financial resources and opportunities at their disposal, they can overcome obstacles, pursue their passions, and make decisions that align with their goals and dreams. Being financially independent isn't just about having money; it signifies the freedom to live life on one's own terms, without relying on others. It's a way to achieve fairness, make their own choices, and evolve into the best version of oneself.”
