Her critique of being called “Khala” (aunt) sheds light on a broader issue in Saudi society: the intersection of cultural norms, professional etiquette, and modern expectations of respect. While the term is intended as respectful, it often comes across as intrusive and judgmental, raising questions about how Saudi society navigates tradition & modernity in everyday interactions.
