In the book, Shobhna was a Balvidhva, Brahmin girl; her father Krishna Swami was one of the "adhikari" in the famous Somnath temple. Chaula was chief dancer Ganga's daughter, later revealed to be Dadda Chalukya's daughter. Later on Shabhna lives with Chaula as her close friend. The drama shows Shobha as the daughter of Kirit Chalukya (brother of Dadda Chalukya) and eventually a princess of Bharuch.

As per the book, Dadda Chalukya used to believe a lot on Rudrabhadra: he got a son, due to his blessings. Dadda Chalukya got Bharucha's kingdom due to Rudrabhadra's blessings, he gave his first daughter Chaula to Goddess Tripursundari on Rudrabhadra's advice, but Gang Sarvagya interfered and she was given to God Somnath. As a result Rudrabhadra was very angry. In the drama - Dadda Chalukya and Rudrabhadra are shown as great rivals and Rudhrabhadra one of the main parallel antagonist to Ghaznavi. Moreover Gayathri Devi (wife of Dadda Chaulukya) was the person who got blessings to get a baby (without Dadda's permission). A "girl" was born not a boy and the girl is Chaula. Rudhrabhadra got a promise from Gayathri that at the of 16 she must be given to Goddess Tripurasundari but she refused to do so later on when Chaula reached the age of 16.

Bhimdev, the son of Samrat Vallabhdev married to Udaymati, a princess of Saurastra Narvahan Khengar. He had also married to Bauladevi (also called Chauladevi) who was not a princess. Bhimdev had a son named Karandev from Udaymati and sons named Chemraj and Mulraj from Bauladevi. Mulraj died in very early age. In the series Chaula is indeed shown as a princess, but Bhimdev does not have any other wives.
