I am sure most ppl commenting here have no idea there is a difference in the way we pronounce v and w. One of my american colleagues actually pointed it to me and my mind was blown. His simple example was the difference between wow and a wedding vow. Most Indians pronounce these words the same. So everything slamming on OP, nothing is wrong with him/her. But you all can learn a thing or two from this post!

Seriously don’t understand the point of this? Are you okay?

Sorry didnt mean to trigger anyone. I'm completely fine mispronouncing words and can take feedback. I can also laugh at myself and not so easily offended.
If I was the only one making that mistake you could have said so and I would have laughed about it. Quite unnecessary to talk about mental health in this context. Reflects poorly on you.
