BAHUT is valid in Collins, not in North America — 10 points
It depends on the list you play by. BAHUT is in Collins, used in the UK and most of the world, but it is not in the North American lists — so in a US or Canadian game an opponent can challenge it off the board. Worth 10 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does BAHUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large cupboard, chest or sideboard, often ornately built.
Bahut entered English furniture writing from French, where it first named a travelling chest and later a tall cabinet used for storage in a hall or dining room. Antique dealers and interior writers keep the French word rather than translating it as cupboard, since bahut usually implies an older or more decorative piece.
