On August 5th, 2024, the episode of Parineetii begins with Parineet telling Sanju that the elevator they are in is not working, and they are stuck inside. Sanju recalls that the security had warned him about the elevator, but he had forgotten. Parineet accuses him of being irresponsible, saying it’s his office, and he should have checked whether the elevator was working. Sanju defends himself by saying that the entire building isn’t his and that he’s not a security guard to check everything. Parineet, feeling frustrated, asks if they are going to stay there like that. Sanju reluctantly nods and says there’s nothing he can do to help her get out. Parineet, feeling desperate, says she can’t stay there and needs his help.
Sanju tries to contact the intercom but finds that it’s not working. Meanwhile, Ambika and Salil arrive at the office searching for Parineet. The receptionist ignores them, causing Ambika to lose her temper. She calls the mechanic and scolds him for his carelessness, asking who would take responsibility if something happened to the people stuck in the elevator. The manager, noticing the issue, asks the receptionist to contact another technician immediately.
Ambika, frustrated and worried, demands that the elevator be opened and threatens to sue if they don’t save Parineet and Sanju quickly. The manager apologizes, explaining that they had placed a warning board, but it had fallen down. Ambika insists they call the mechanic again. She rushes to the CCTV room to monitor the situation. Inside the elevator, Sanju feels helpless. Parineet, unable to control her frustration, starts hitting the elevator. Miraculously, it starts working again, and they both feel relieved. Ambika, watching through the CCTV, believes Parineet must be very scared.
The manager scolds the mechanic for not arriving on time, despite being instructed to reach by 9. The mechanic, on his way, warns that if the elevator has started working on its own, it means the control is lost, which is very dangerous. His phone then switches off, leaving the manager more anxious.
Inside the elevator, Sanju starts feeling suffocated. Parineet, noticing his distress, asks what’s wrong. Sanju reveals that he is claustrophobic and can’t stay in closed spaces for long. Parineet recalls a similar incident at a hotel where she had helped Sanju. She tries to comfort him again by removing his blazer to help him breathe easier.
Back at the office, Neeti tells Gurinder that something is happening to Sanju. Gurinder, worried, remembers his claustrophobia. Neeti, frustrated by the poor intercom connection, feels her efforts to separate Sanju and Parineet are futile as they seem to be getting closer. Parineet, trying to help Sanju, unintentionally makes Neeti more frustrated. Neeti angrily calls the manager, demanding immediate action.
Gurinder expresses concern about her son, blaming Parineet for the trouble. Salil and Daljeet discuss the urgency of getting them out. Ambika vows to find out more about Sanju, suspecting he has a hidden agenda. She believes Neeti keeps him close for a reason and is determined to uncover their secret. Neeti, equally determined, hints that Ambika also has secrets, like hiding her daughter from the world.
In the elevator, Parineet continues to help Sanju, which bothers Neeti. Sanju mistakenly calls Parineet by her name, leading Neeti to accuse Parineet of caring for him as if she were his wife. Gurinder tries to calm Neeti down, but she lashes out, feeling betrayed and upset.
Parineet, now tired and angry, tells Sanju that she will file a case against him for mental harassment. Sanju, noticing her frustration, says her eyes can’t hide the truth. Parineet accuses him of hating her because she reminds him of Parineet. Sanju, disappointed, insists she isn’t his Parineet. The episode ends with unresolved tensions and a sense of impending drama.
