Generally, Indians pronounce this third person pronoun as vo, woh, vehe, but it is spelled VAHA. would it be incorrect if someone pronounced it as spelled, VAHA?
my non-indian friends ask me and i do not know the answer.

it is right
the hindi pronoun 'vaha' can be pronounced as it is written.
in fact that ought to be the right pronunciation. that word is pronounced as vo, voh or vehe as per convenience.

Woh
'Vaha' does not represent Hindi Third Person Pronoun correctly because the last part -ha is not pronounced so clearly. So in mu opinion "Woh" will stand more accurately for वह.

: Wo or Woh are simply colloquial usages in Hindi for vaha like ya, yah or yup etc. are in English for yes. These colloquial usages, though prevalent, don't change the standard language.

: Standard Hindi as spoken by scholars, writers and above all the government media, pronunc it as vaha. But the people of different regions pronounce it differently, so vah, woh, wo etc are used
