Zenith Irfan talks 'Motorcycle Girl', staring culture and future plans

The real-life motorcycle girl, Zenith Irfan, sat down with Geo Pakistan on Tuesday to talk about the film adaptation of her life, the staring culture in Pakistan and the fulfillment of her late father’s dream.

Motorcycle Girl starring Sohai Ali Abro tells the story of Irfan — the first female biker to take a solo journey across Pakistan’s northern areas.

In a country where women's ambitions are suppressed and they are told to step back, this film aims to break that barrier by focusing on 'following your dream'.

"This story is not just a story of me riding my motorcycle. It is also a story of connecting with nature and my father on my trip to the northern areas,” Zenith said.

Unlike the movie, which shows Zenith’s character taking it on her own and travelling alone, the real-life adventure begs to differ.

“In real life, it is a lot different. I do not travel alone. I am part of a huge group and I move around with my brother. The movie had to show it a bit differently for story-telling purposes
