Hi Sathya,

If it is a topspin use a block shot.  Take a look at the lesson on the Backhand Block.  However one thing you also need to consider is trying to stop them from having the opportunity to make the aggressive backhand.  You can do this by keeping the ball shorter on the table and also just avoiding the hitting zone.  Try to play the ball wider or more into their crossover or even place more balls to the forehand side.
