While I agree Zoya is an immature character who has much growing to do, for me her reaction to this situation isn't unexpected.
She's looking at it completely from Najma's side, trying to do what will make Najma happy. She obviously doesn't quite understand the delicate balance between the two families. I actually think this shows how Qubool Hai characters are not portrayed as 'perfection' like in many other shows, we truly see the shades of grey, in each character.
Zoya is unaware of most of Nikhat's situation. She obviously hasn't even really thought about, as per usual. She usually does jump into everything headfirst, and that's her personality trait, at times, its bad and at times its good. We can't expect Zoya to understand the complexities of this family scenario...she's never been in it. She simply does not understand how bad it really is, whats going on.
From what she has seen :
1) Najma loves Imraan, Imraan loves Najma and they would do anything for each other.
2) Nikhat called off the engagement with Imran and seems to be fine with it. Here I would like to point out that Zoya does not know anything about the situation with Nikhat, she doesn't even know Nikhat.
3) She is looking at it solely one-sided, from what she presumes is Najma's point of view. What she saw was how upset Najma was, and her first priority here is to help Najma. She obviously assumes, that since Najma knows and loves Imraan, he must be a good guy.
We as the audience are seeing the whole scenario, but we have to remember that Zoya's knowledge in this situation is limited.
Now comes the question, why doesn't she then shut up?
And my answer? Well when has Zoya ever shut up? She has always been portrayed as a meddlesome character who rushes into things. She relies on her emotions rather than her logical thought process. She makes her decisions based on her feelings, and now she thinks Najma is in love, and is willing to do anything to make the love story happen.
Why is she speaking in Khan family business? Well even before she was engaged to Asad, we saw that she treated them as if they were her family. Najma especially was like a little sister, and a good friend. Basically, she has always meddled in their business. Especially Najma's.
I really could go on and on lol.
I'd just like to point out that I'm not saying Zoya was right in this situation. I'm just pointing out that I'm not very surprised at how Zoya reacted, and I can certainly understand why she did so, even if I don't agree with it.
I'd also like to point out that this isn't 'ruining' her character for me, because the way I see it, its giving the show's main protagonist shades of grey. I don't hate Zoya for it, and nor do I think anyone is honestly at fault here.
Whew that was a long post 0.0
