Is it Necessary to take protein shake for building muscles?

No. Muscle is built by appropriate exercise, not by what you eat. A healthy well-balanced diet is all that is necessary. Your body doesn't take protein that you eat and tranform it directly into muscle; the proteins for muscle-building are manufactured by your body from whatever you eat. A bit of extra protein in your diet isn't going to hurt anything, but it isn't likely to help much.

What is more effective to gain muscle- eating protein and the working out or the opposite?

To gain muscle you MUST workout. If the body is not stressed enough to send the signals to build muscle, it will not matter how much protein you consume.
