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.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
