I have many Hyderabadi friends (it seems 90% of Indian Muslims in US are from there), and I have yet to meet one who feels awkward while speaking in Urdu. I am from UP and we (incl others who are from North) have quite a fun time with our Hyderabadi brothers. There is no malice, albeit we do have a huge laugh at how they say Qaf and Kaf etc.

Q becoming Kh is a different thing. Speaking proper Hyderabadi is the other matter. And more serious is the literary scene of Dakhni Urdu. There are only three or four Hyderabadi poems on the net. Once I saw a young man talking about dowry. Begins in Urdu and then he says that since the point is to be communicated to local people I'll switch to Hyderabadi. And he does that. It was endearing.
