Only the protagonists and the sets seem to have changed. Since this historical has replaced ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’,we are sure the viewers are not missing much. The show is based on the legend around the trials and travails of Shobha,an unsung heroine who defeated Ghazni with her shrewd bent of mind. There is also an evil tantrik with his eyes on the hapless,nubile girls of Bharuch who he wants to take under his wing as devdasis. Shobha is a motherless child but has the childless queen (Gayatri Devi) looking after her as her own,a father who blames his daughter for the untimely death of his wife,a stepmother,Indumati who is ambitious and decidedly the vamp in the picture and her brother,Bhanuman who provides fodder to her evil plans and there is little prince Bheemdev,Shobhas friend and someone she looks up to. Its like any other primetime serial with all the ingredients of drama,revenge and the age-old battle of the good versus evil,the only difference being little Shobha who aspires to rule her kingdom one day and banish all the enemies is dressed in all her Rajkumari finery,finding her way amidst the politics (similar to the kitchen politics our primetime heroines are subjected to) of the people around her.
