My comment:

Hello is hello even in Urdu. Sometimes we can use Assalam-O-Alaikum (Ø§Ø³Ù„Ø§Ù… Ø¹Ù„ÛŒÚ©Ù…) in Urdu context but it is not the exact meaning of hello.

Hello is also used for a sign of amazement apart from addressing one.

My comment:

First of all, even though the asker has stated "Urdu>English", I assume what is required is the Urdu equivalent of "Hello".
This expression, particularly when answering a phone, has become so universal that even an illiterate villager uses it. It has been practically adopted by all languages. The answer given by me is the nearest alternative that I have heard Urdu speaking speaking people use.
Other expressions used are: kahiye, boliye, sunaiye, followed by: kaise hain, or haal kaisa hai?
