padhna ya paRhna? - That is the question !!!

Oh I can’t stand this Roman Urdu sometimes …

dh - makes the sound daal + hey = dhey … so obviously I am shocked when I read the word “padh” scattered all over the forum … Rh - is the hard R + air = makes the right sound for paRh - (read/study) …

I know in Bollywood transliteration they do this ‘dh’ - thing …

Do I have a point or am I just blowing hot air … …
