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.

A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
