Hi Suhas,

The best response to start with is the block.  Take a look at the lesson on both the Forehand Block and the Backhand Block.

There are other options as well.  If you are a little more advanced you can look at the lesson on Countering A Spinny Topspin.  This will give you the options of punching or counter topspinning the topspin.
