Solution :-
Shehnai is the refined version of pungi. A barber, who was a regular visitor to the king's palace, used a naturally hollow stem to put pungi's reed into and made shehnai. Shehnai had a pleasant sound unlike pungi. As it was played by a barber (nai in Hindi) before the king (shah in Urdu), so it was given the name shehnai.
Traditionally, the shehnai was played in temples and during wedding ceremonies, and it was considered an auspicious instrument. Ustad Bismillah Khan brought shehnai into mainstream music and changed the way people perceived shehnai.
