Is buying in Delhi really worth the hype?

Just moved into my 2BHK in Tughlakabad last month and honestly, I'm starting to think everyone glorifies buying property in Delhi too much. The EMI for my Shri Ram and Yuvraaj Associates flat is steep, and then add maintenance, property tax, and all the hidden costs nobody talks about. My old rent for a similar sized place in Civil Lines was way less stressful. Everyone says 'build equity,' but the initial down payment and stamp duty just feel like sunk costs right now. Is the appreciation really worth this much upfront pain and ongoing financial drain? Especially with prices already so high in areas like Saket and Vasant Kunj. Change my mind, please.
