Is there a way, to encrypt data that is present in click house? I totally understand that, encryption might cause performance issues but its always good to have data encryption in case of security breach.

There is no such a feature in Clickhouse. You can try place Clickhouse data files on encrypted partition (should be quite easy, but have drawbacks).

I get that. My concern is, with GDPR coming in picture should some encryption related features or support is planned or not?

GDPR does not enforce encryption.

Choosing appropriate way to make personal data safe is internal decision of your company. 
So use encryption only if YOU decide that encryption is needed in your case.
