I think Omkara is the most loved character in the show. There are many reasons for me to love Omkara. Firstly, I found him very different from the regular MLs on Indian telly. Infact, a lot different than any male character on Indian telly.
His original characterisation was of an artist who is a man of ethics and expects the world to be idealistic, lives in a fantasy world. A ML who is not rough and tough, but emotionally weak. A down-to-earth guy, who has a simple lifestyle, who wears baggy clothes and uses local transport despite being a multi-millionaire. There was an intensity and innocence in his character, which disappeared after DBO.
But that's not all. He's definitely not a saint like he portrays himself to be. He's a very layered character, who even has grey shades. He also has a darker side which we
see time and again. He turns into a beast when he gets angry. He can be nicest and the nastiest person around. He's also a hypocrite. So yes, he's the most complex character in this show, who is very hard to understand. According to me, he was the most well written character in IB, who is slowly getting butchered in DBO.
Actually, there are many stories, that can be made solely on this character, apart from a regular love story.
And of course, his long hair look is so hot, that I can't stop myself from drooling over him.
