Hence, why Shivaay's character seems stagnant, a lot of the times.
Whereas if we look at OmRu - Om is the one brother who, individually, has been explored most and best, thus far. We can crib about his messed up love angle but we have to admit that as a character (layer wise) Om got most of the attention hence, why he, despite Kunal not having such a huge fanbase when the show started, got so popular so quickly, Rudra, imo, has been far more subtle but he, too, has been laid out quite nicely- many people are catching on to his anxiety issues or how he keeps ShivKara together, for example.
So, it's actually Shivaay who's been more on the suffering end character-development-wise 😕
