I kind of understand Zoya

Okay...before the brickbats are hurled, I'd request to just hear me out :P
I may sound stupid, illogical to some, but still try and hear me out lol.

I just finished watching the episode I was too scared to watch because of the reactions on the forum, and also because I was traveling and couldn't find the time yesterday.
Anyhow, coming to the topic - I totally agree with the fact that Zoya is stupid, irritatingly righteous in a twisted way, extra naive, and illogical, and that is exactly why I somehow managed to understand her pov. Sometimes when you love someone a little too much, and that person betrays you - you feel hurt, abuse him/her, curse, but you also feel hurt when someone else badmouths that person because for some reason, in that moment your love, for that beloved backstabber overpowers all the hate and resentment you have against him/her. You somewhere feel only you have the right to curse and abuse that individual for the betrayals against you - and not anyone else. I won't disagree if any one of you finds this extremely stupid and impractical, because it totally is, but sometimes, some humans are absolute fools when it comes to extreme love and affection. I can say this with such guarantee only and only because even I have done something similar, where I have literally cursed (Oh, you have NO idea!) a certain family member who used to be closest to me for severe betrayals and deceit, but found myself feeling uncomfortable when someone else did it for me, exactly the way Zoya reacts when Aditya, and her father lambaste Yash

Zoya madly loved Yash, and she had to literally see him being accused of murdering Pooja whom he apparently loved and vice versa. Yes, he cheated Zoya, lied to her, kept her in the dark for only he knows how long!, but whatever little she knew of him, she is certain he wouldn't have killed someone for his own depressed state of mind. She saw her beloved backstabber's name being dragged through the mud, while the other woman who was equally guilty in the entire game of cheating went scot-free. Of course, it had to be done to get Zoya and Aditya off the hook, but don't think I can fault her for being hurt about the process.

However this is the only part where I could understand Zoya in the episode, the rest of the time she was a pain to watch. Zoya would be the dumbest woman on the planet(Surprise!) if she goes ahead and re-opens the case, as the case Rajveer prepared is all about Adiya being the culprits, so is she going to let the Police investigate them again? And why should an innocent Adi be dragged through it all because of her inexplicable loyalty towards her selfish in laws? Also, her trying to explain Mahi of all people was the most irritating thing I have seen in a while. She is the same woman who helped put Zoya in that situation in the first place, therefore, exactly what was Zoya trying to do when she went all, 'Mahi, its not what you think, listen to me blah blah blah'. Also, where exactly does the spine she showed in the last part of the episode vanish when it comes to Mahi? Such inconsistency in the character's growth

THAT'S MY ENTIRE GRIPE WITH HER. I'm not faulting her for still caring about Yash or his rep. I definitely do not fault her for feeling guilty about Madhu. All those feelings are completely valid.
But they literally go from a scene in which Mahi calls her names, again, and throws her out of her own house, to which Zoya's reaction was to cower and whimper, to her walking in the Hooda house, breaking their stuff, raging at Adi and laying all blame on him.

She does so little with someone who's repeatedly done nothing but cause her grief, someone who went as far as trying to have her killed, mind you, but does SO MUCH with Aditya, it's jarring.

Yah, even I didn't like the inconsistency. The girl who didnot used to talk loud, living in her own world, started looking around and started raising voice and questioning.. Good progress..
She started questioning Aditya first, then her own father.. Bashing Aditya and his father in front of so many people., not going back when adi showed his anger by breaking glass.. Good going..

Logically thinking and differentiating between her husband having EMA, but not Greedy and murder -- great progress

But

How come she complain aditya for Madhu's heart attach? It is when she found homeless, with that worry she fell down. not because of bashing Yash in court..- Where is the logic now?

When Mahi taunting her that this entire mess was because of Zoya, why didnot she say, 'It is because of you.. You tried to frame me and aditya, so in the process of safeguarding, this entire thing happened'

This inconsistency in character growth is difficult to understand.

Absolutely. The inconsistency in her reactions is just so weird. She literally has different set of rules for different people. With Mahi and Madhu, its saath khoon maaf, and Aditya is held accountable for every single thing he does and does not do. I can still somehow try and wrap my head around Zoya being nice to her selfish mother in law, but MAHI??? SERIOUSLY??? This is exactly why Zoya's character fails to evoke sympathy.

LMAO! You're so right. That's exactly why she fell down. She was totally fine while scolding and throwing Zoya out of the house, but the moment she realized there wouldn't be a roof over her head, she got an attack, and poor Aditya and family got blamed for it. If this is how it continues, no one will have the patience to bear Zoya.

I totally agree. Viewers are disappointed because Zoya cannot see Mahi for what she is. She knows Mahi helped Rajveer to arrest her and Aditya but still she does not confront her. Why reopen a case that was started to destroy you yourself. What dignity of her late husband does she want to preserve. He was a lying, womanising cheat. So are her mum in law and Mahi. Zoya seems more angry with her dad for not telling her abt the house belonging to her than with her in-laws from throwing her out of her own house. If Zoya reopens this case more unsavory truths will come out.

Also, I do not have a problem with Zoya looking to clear Yash's name. If she's doing it by investigating on her own, or by hiring a PE.
But if she's actually re-opening the very same case in which she was the main suspect, or one of them, then she definitely deserves criticism.

@Cinderella an Roonil - Zoya's biggest problem is her problem of double standards. Till the time she doesn't shed that off her, she will continue getting criticized. Just to please certain people, she can't be unfair towards the others.

Zoya needs a wakeup call. You cannot survive in this world by being a sachai ki devi. She has been sheltered all her life and thinks that the truth will set u free. It does in some instances but in hers she and ADitya was setup and wrongly framed and the truth in this case being Yash's character had to be manupilated to set Adiya free from charges of murder. She is in denial abt Yash's depression when Mr Hooda proved that by putting Yash's Psychiatrist on the stand.

Adi has grown up around lawyers. He has seen words being twisted, lies being told to win cases, whereas Zoya hasn't, but yes, she needs to know one can't survive in this world my living in a bubble. However, I understand her hurt and anguish at the Yash's name being smeared. Adi got pretty worked up when Zoya spoke about Pooja's character, and it was only in front of a few people and not in the court where lies were converted into gospel truths. I hate her double standards, but at the same time I also understand why she got mad at Aditya. Had she not applied different set of rules for dealing with Mahi and different ones for Aditya, I think people would have understood her pov better.
