4. Bismillah khan got his big break in 1938 when he played shehnai on radio on the occasion of the opening of the All India Radio in Lucknow. Soon he became an often heard player on radio.
5. On 15 August 1947, Bismillah Khan played shehnai at the Red Fort. The event was historical because India got Independence from the British rule on that day.
6.Bismillah Khan refused to start a shehnai school in the U.S.A. because he did not want to stay away from India. He was really fond of Benaras, the River Ganga and Dumraon.
