If you remove their commentary their screen space is almost nil
All 3 brothers have different characters, so it's shown as it is. Rudra might look like comic relief but that's how his character has been characterized happy go lucky, not responsible and he does has his individual story going on like fooling around with girls. Om is calm and silent mostly and they have been showing it, he and Shivaay have those bro talks quite often, also he has his individual story going on concern for Janvi, conflicts with parents relationship. Shivaay is the eldest one, he is the CEO of Oberoi industries, he being the eldest he takes care of everyone and everybody is dependent on him including his 2 younger brothers, this is what makes Shivaay look more prominent than other 2, that's how his characterization is. If you expect all 3 brothers to be like Shivaay then what versatility in story and characters?
OmRu look upto Shivaay, dependent on him emotionally more than their parents, he is a kind of father figure to them, Shivaay leads the Obros, that's why he looks prominent. They are always around him, they love to tease him, that's why they are there for commenting about Shivika. That's how the story is in every multistarer, there is one character that binds and takes charge of rest and that character bound to look prominent. Having said all this I do think in recent few episodes Om's character as an individual isn't getting focused, though there are scenes of him with Riddima. But then even Shivaay's character is at standstill too, showing the same love for brothers and family nothing else is developed as an individual character.
About Anika, yes she wasn't shown in promos but if people can understand then the very first episode of the show had made it clear she is equally important as Obros. She is Shivaay's lady love, so she is bound to be someone to whom others look upto.
As of now this is the state but you never know with Indian shows when the story, characters everything gets jumbled up. So I stick to my words as of now it's Obros and Anika, the leads of the show.
