Well , Adi has conditioned himself to believe that Zoya is his emotional punchbag .So when he sees Zoya it's a sort of catharsis ; inexplainable of course .
Adi met Pooja when he was very young thus I presume he wouldn't have projected this sort of anger towards Poo (i.e resentment over his mother ) she would've been his emotional get away .
Since both the roles essentially serve the same purpose his conditioning makes him relate Zoya to Poo (his love) . So when he calls her Mehboob , and talks about how things woul've been if they were ein another lifetime etc it's his subconscious merging roles .
The kind of proximity Zo and Adi share is too much too soon and both of them are comfortable because somewhere both of them have conditioned themselves to the other to get an emotional foothold .
Thus , his affection and song today was his subconscious , accepting what it's done to him and his super ego telling him it would only be right in another lifetime .
PS : Credits to Ivan Pavlov for the theory of Classical Conditioning . The rest I take credit for ! As you can see I have a pathetic sense of humor
