This city is so underrated, in terms of everything.

This city is so underrated, in terms of everything…Need to hype this city upppp! (sic),” the tweet read.

Agree. Also kind people and safe city. Barring the 2-3 peak summer months, weather is really nice and pleasant and breezy summer evenings too mostly. So far reasonably priced also. #Hyderabad ❤️ #NazarNaLagey 🧿 https://t.co/yeEt5t5hBW

Several users echoed Kukreja’s praise for Hyderabad, emphasizing its friendly people, safety, diverse culinary scene, language inclusivity, and cultural harmony. However several users cautioned against hyping Hyderabad due to the risk of increased migration to the city. “Plz don’t hype Hyderabad this is exactly how Austin. TX was hyped and now it’s crazy with so much of influx from either coast, high home prices, low quality of constructions, unimaginable number of ppl” read a tweet.

Meanwhile, a reply to the tweet, criticizing Hyderabad’s amenities for vegetarians and safety concerns received backlash from numerous users defending the city.

“Hyderabad is a heaven. U just didn’t explore the Taj Mahal hotels, Kamats and street food all across the city. Beg to disagree with you, (sic)” said a user. “Is it a fictional tweet please? (sic),” said another. “I survived the initial three years with just Hindi, Dakkani and broken Telugu. Hyderabad is love, love and only full of love to everyone who comes here. It is the city with the biggest heart towards non-locals (sic),” said the third user.

I found this view to be an exception among exceptions. Having met a lot of people who have visited the city, stayed there, or have made the city their home, they have a great liking for the city. There are a huge number of veg restaurants catering to every palate. #Hyderabad https://t.co/juwO06pkbG
