Why didn’t Gaurav Khanna get popularity m/FD like Harshad or Shaheer?

Even with a popular show and a character that was initially loved and a popular ship, why didn’t GK get the popularity and fd that HC and SS now enjoy? I mean his fd is very small and mostly are just bunch of blind stans who think he’s saint or is like OG Anuj self in real life. He also doesn’t have ground level popularity when RG has that ground level popularity from the same show… but why didn’t he get a fd like HC’s or SS’s after a popular chr and a ship?
