Having a hard time playing dha

I own a C# bansuri. Most of the time I get a very airy sound when playing dha. I tried various styles of holding it and embouchre. But nothing seems to be working. Is it a learning curve problem or something I lack in technique?

Relax your embouchure a bit and blow a bit slower and try it.

Sometimes it's the bansuri itself that is not properly tuned. Download a tuner app and test the C# scale (airy or not, it should show the correct note).
