A female Kuwaiti TV presenter who called her colleague ‘handsome’ on air has been suspended from her job.

It happened when the TV host was on air during the live coverage of the country’s municipal elections that happened last weekend.

The incident was captured in a video which shows the host trying to get her colleague, Nawaf Al Sharraki’s, attention to tell him that he was on air after she spotted him fixing his traditional head clothing. 

The video has sparked outrage and gone viral

“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.
