Hi,
 Difficult to say. Will have to wait for it to flower / fruit to be absolutely sure. Meanwhile my photographs of the fruit, leaves & hairy stems are available for comparison at this link :

Dear Karuna ji,

I confirm it as Tinospora sinensis or Tinospora malabarica
Here I attached a photo that resembles your specimen and I am working on the same species. It (the plant) is having highly pubescent young stem with conspicuous round or oval lenticels, warty when it becomes old, leaves are pubescent aboue and tomentose beneeth. flowers are green in color and are having perianth (3+3 into two rows). fruits are scarlet red when ripe and are berry type. having lenticels on it.

With Regards.
