Well, it's simply fun to translate the cultures :)
Thanks.
Dhanyavaad!
You are welcome.
Apke dhanyavaad ko vinamratapoorvak grahan karta hoon.
or Apki sadaashayata ko pranaam!

Etymologically saying
You are welcome-
Apka swaagat hai,
absolutely inappropriate in these conditions.

1.swagat 2.namaste 3.thik haai


Explanation:
Which one is correct? A simple question sometime can fell us in dilemma. there is a difference in etiquette between the East and the West."you are welcome" is a nice word in reply of "thank you"("No mention"is now obsolete).Here,generally people say "thik haai"in reply of thanks. But I think this is not proper manners.We should say "Swagat" or "Namaste" in reply of "Dhanyabaad"(thank you)
