Thanks very much. There is a new album in the market singer Mohit
Chauhan called Fitoor :)

For that matter, there is a recent film song by Sukhwinder (written by
Gulzar) where the word is pronounced a fatoor.
Moral of the story: don't use the pronunciations and spellings
practiced by modern Hindi/Urdu *film* (or other) singers as a
touchstone.
