How do you pronounce "औरत" in Hindi?
AU-rut with the steady rounded vowel of "caught," a quick tap, and a dental t.
aurat
Heavy first, light second — the word tips forward, which is less common in Hindi than the reverse. The long rounded vowel does all the work, and the closing syllable is just a tap and a schwa.

"Voh aurat muskuraa rahee hai" uses the feminine progressive rahee, agreeing with aurat, so the gender shows in the auxiliary. Muskuraa has three light syllables and a long final vowel, which throws aurat's front-heavy shape into relief.
Where English speakers slip
The roman au pulls English speakers toward "ow" as in "our," adding a glide. Freeze the mouth in a rounded position through the whole vowel. The final t then needs to move onto the teeth, and the r needs to be one contact rather than a sustained sound.
