How do you pronounce "मदद" in Hindi?
muh-DUD — two schwas and two dental d's, both made with the tongue tip on the teeth.
madad
Compact throughout, with no long vowel anywhere. The two identical consonants make it a useful self-check: if the second sounds different from the first, an English habit has crept in.

"Mujhe aapkee madad chaahiye" uses aapkee because madad is feminine, and the dative mujhe with the invariant chaahiye. So the sentence has one feminine agreement and one word that refuses to agree with anything.
Where English speakers slip
In American English an intervocalic d becomes a flap, so the middle consonant comes out as a quick tap — which in Hindi collides with ड़. Both stops need full dental closure. The final one also tends to devoice toward t; keep the voicing running.
