One of my favorite Bollywood songs last year was 'Suraj Dooba Hai', in which the lines were:
Sooraj dooba hai yaaro,
Do ghooNt nashe ke maaro
Raste bhula do saare ghar-baar ke
However, when I listen to it, I don't hear ghooNt pronounced the way I have normally heard it (i.e. with a nasalized N sound). It just sounds like ghoot. Am I just imagining things or is this just an alternative pronunciation of the word in Hindi/Urdu. It sounds sort of similar to the Punjabi version, which does not have a nasalized N sound, but also does not have the gh sound either. Thoughts?
