Pronunciation advice - Jwala Gutta

This attractive left handed badminton player is currently in the news because she (along with Ashwini Ponappa) have got a bronze at the World Badminton Championship in London. How ironic! Here are Indian sportspersons doing well in England and yet, all the focus is on the losing Indian cricket team. Her name is getting mauled all over the place on the news channels. So here goes

Jwah-lah Goot-tah (the t sound is the soft French sound and the 'oo' is like the sound in book)
In Hindi, it would read as ज्वाला गुत्ता. If you can read Telugu, it would read as జ్వాలా గుత్తా.
