“Nawaf, you don’t need to adjust your head garment, you’re handsome as it is,” the woman is heard saying. (Translation credit)
Her remark has created a furor in the Kuwait parliament and among top politicians.
Several officials even urged Mohammad Al Jaberi, the Gulf state’s Minister of Information to take action against the host.
According to reports, the woman’s suspension is temporary and final decision will be made once the investigation is completed.
