I've got the book Somnath by Acharya chatursen Shastri- The show SSK is based on this story, as per the title credit appearing in the begining of SSK. As per this book, Shobhna was a balvidhva, brahmin girl,her father Krishna Swami one of the adhikari in 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.
Bhimdev had 3 wives, Udaymati, BAkuladevi(Chauladevi), 3rd name is unknown, he had 3 sons, Mulraj, Kshemraj(Chaula), Karna(Udaymati)
As per this 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 Godess Tripursundari on Rudrabhadra's advice, but Gang Sarvagya interfered & she was given to God Somnath, as a result Rudrabhadra was very angry.
This book was written after Munsi's Jay Somnath. C.Shasti has added more incidents in Somnath. Munshi & Shastri both have written history based novels. But Shobhna as a princess is not mentioned even in this book.
