1) Bismillah Khan was born at Dumraon, Bihar in 1916 into a family of


musicians. His grandfather Rasool Bux Khan played the shehnai at the court of
the king of Bhojpur. ... At the age of three, Bismillah Khan visited his maternal
uncle, Ali Bux at Benaras. He saw him playing the shehnai and was fascinated
by it. -

2) Bismillah Khan associated with the film world when Vijay Bhatt heard him at
one of the festival. He was so impressed with him that he named a movie on th
instrument "gunj uthi shehnai". The film was hit and had one of Bismillah's
compositions which turned out to be nationwide chartbuster.
