Prior to this, we know that he tormented her because her husband had an affair with his wife so he was obviously angry at everyone and since Pooja wasn't here to vent his justified anger at, he took it out on Zoya. And he couldn't accept Zoya's misguided love for her cheating husband. He didn't want to see her looking at life through rose coloured glasses but to face the truth, and wake up from her dream world and feel the hurt just as much as he was feeling. So no, he definitely didn't like her.
In light of his words to Zoya in the hospital when he told her that she saved his life too, otherwise he might do something that he would regret all his life, we can go back to the scene at the night club and it now makes better sense. When Noor called him and scolded him, he was in the middle of drinking heavily and a possible hook up with that woman, but the call snapped him back into reality and he realized that he was about to do something he would regret. So when he heard the urgency in Noor's voice, it suddenly redirected his actions towards trying to help Zoya instead of getting involved with the woman. So he jumped up and ran out to find Zoya.
When I first saw the scene in the night club, I felt he was jumping up to help Zoya way too fast when he was there to drown his sorrows and it didn't seem like the right reaction for him to have when he really doesn't like her. But only when he tells Zoya that she saved him too, does it make better sense.
All the times that he had been tormenting her and not caring if he hurt her or not, didn't compare to what he felt after he showed her the divorce papers and he saw her talking to the invisible Yash on the road. He now saw how utterly broken she was walking away almost in a trance. He started feeling guilty for hurting her all the times previous. Yes, he wanted her to wake up from her fairy tale but I don't think he was prepared to see her so broken and empty.
I agree he now feels responsible towards her because he also contributed to her pain. Both Arjun and Pooja's mom have pointed out to him the pain he caused her.
After all, we know he is a loving and caring person so he does have a conscience in there. But the pain has been clouding his heart.
He might feel that they are now at the same place, both accepting that their spouses have cheated on them and they can help each other out.
Sorry for the long ramble 😕. Looking forward to seeing their friendship develop.
