“Because my show was airing during Ramadan, I was extra cautious about not going against any of our traditions, I took care of what I wore and how I spoke,” she added. Awadhi’s sacking has led to mixed reactions on social media sites where many supporting her choice of clothing while others are saying that her dress should have been more modest.
