Paridhi...to me was quite an intelligent character...who could grasp the situation and act accordingly. Being frank is good but getting provoked without giving it a thought is worst for a working woman and that too an exposure of mind and physical games that she herself experienced.
Giving reasons for the action done and repenting later repeatedly is a big NO - NO...it is high time Paridhi should start using her mind ( which she did when she slapped Ishita but then again caught trapped again ) and act to pay back for the good deeds done by Arti.
