Well, without looking at the leaves, I would assume it to be Thickhead
(Crassocephalum crepidioides)

Dear Raghu Ji,
Same from me too as of Tabish ji. It's hard to diffentiate between Gynura bicolor and Crassocephalum crepidioides without looking at the leaf morphology!!

Tanay

Nodding head is the characteristic feature of Crassocephalum crepidioides. (Crasso = fat/thick; cephalum = head) They also smell like mango when crushed.

With regards
