How do you pronounce "परेशान" in Hindi?
pu-ray-SHAAN — three beats, with a dry p, a quick tap, and long vowels in the last two syllables.
pareshaan
The word climbs from a schwa through two long vowels, and the tap between the first two syllables must stay brief or the climb levels out. Both long vowels need full duration despite the word's length.

"Maiṁ thoṛaa pareshaan hooṁ" uses thoṛaa as an adverb, and thoṛaa contains an aspirated dental थ and a retroflex flap ड़. Pareshaan is invariant, so nothing in the sentence marks the speaker's gender.
Where English speakers slip
The initial p picks up English aspiration and the tap becomes an American r that colours the long e on both sides. Suppress the puff, flick once, and keep the two long vowels distinct in quality — one front, one open.
