Shobha Somnath Ki

Shobha Somnath Ki is an Indian historical television drama series on Zee TV based on Acharya Chatursen’s Hindi novel Somnath Mahalay. It tells the story of a young girl called Shobha amid the infamous raids in western India by Sultan Maḥmūd of Ghazna in the early 11th century.

The show replaced another historical drama Jhansi Ki Rani on Zee TV. Initially, the drama was produced by Contiloe Telefilms. However, due to Veer Shivaji on Colors TV and Maharana Pratap on Star Plus, Contiloe Telefilms handed over the reins to Swastik Pictures. The show was shown every day for some months, and was changed to being broadcast bi-weekly due to decreased popularity. Another show Hitler Didi replaced the time slot when Shobha Somnath Ki was shown. On 12 November 2011, the broadcast time was changed to weekends only. It aired its last episode on 26 February 2012.
