The show replaced another historical drama ''[[Jhansi Ki Rani (2009 TV series)|Jhansi Ki Rani]]'' on Zee TV. Initially, the drama was produced by [[Contiloe Entertainment]]. However, due to ''[[Veer Shivaji]]'' on [[Colors (TV channel)|Colors TV]] and ''[[Mahabharat (2013 TV series)]]'' 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 (starting 7 November 2011). On 12 November 2011, the broadcast time was changed to weekends only. It aired its last episode on 26 February 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://media247.co.uk/bizasia/newsarchive/2012/02/zee_tv_axes_sho.php|title=ZEE TV axes 'Shobha Somnath Ki' this month|work=madia 247. co.uk|accessdate=16 February 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120221050407/http://media247.co.uk/bizasia/newsarchive/2012/02/zee_tv_axes_sho.php |archivedate=21 February 2012 }}</ref><br />
