The six episodes in Love Storiyaan have been directed by the likes of Collin D’Cunha, Vivek Soni, Shazia Iqbal, Hardik Mehta and others. The series is inspired by real love stories shared on the Indian Love Project page on social media. Somen said that they could’ve adapted it into a narrative show, but chose to take the docu-drama approach instead.

More recently, on X, he appeared to be angry at the lack of conversation around the series, and the limited support that it has received from the industry. He wrote, “As the Insta story has expired, so I am keeping it as a post now. Just so that I don’t forget. #vengeanceismine (Ps – includes reviewers who haven’t reviewed us {good/bad/ugly doesn’t matter}, friends, foes, family, colleagues, acquaintances, filmmakers, writers, and everyone else).” 

Somen recently made headlines when he said on X that Vidhu Vinod Chopra didn’t give appropriate credit to the writer of the book that his recent film, 12th Fail, was based on.
