Hi Abhishek,
Have you seen the lesson on Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis. This will be a good starter.
With topspin against topspin you need to turn your hand over the ball more than with shakehand because the racket is naturally in a more upright position. You can use your fingers to help to make this angle change as well.

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.
