I saw some posts criticizing the CVs that they are making Zoya look by making her do things trying to get Asad's attention. But, really, I think it is quite natural. She already admitted to him and herself, that she likes him. Suddenly, this new character arrives, who has a much better rapport with Asad! In some way, she is trying to gauge where she stands with him. It is not the correct thing to do maybe...but frankly it is understandable. In my opinion, it fits well with her character so far!
