vishwajeet_hol - Though there is no way other than using Ajax to get the updated content on page, so what you can do is check the count of the posts inside the board "ForumTopicPage" and keep it checking with a thread at the background. A script will check the count every X minutes, if the count is updated, it will fetch the updated content via Ajax.
Count API: http://community.lithium.com/restapi/vc/boards/id/studio/posts/count
Current result = 7397
If after X minutes, the count is same, it wont make a call for the updated content, if the count is now 7398, it will make the update request via Ajax.

I hope this helps.
- Hi Alok,
What if there is any change in body of topic. So there will be loss of data. So can we consider LastUpdateDate instead of replied cout.
Also this approach will need total customized widget.
Can we provide data to OOB or can we include OOB component after particular time period.
Regards,
Dhirajvishwajeet_hol wouldn't real time notifications help there?
- Yes, that could be an option as well. Regarding having an OOTB component, No.
