This generally happens when the appindicator library fails to load.
Try restarting the wingpanel by killall wingpanel
If that doesn't work, try checking if you have indicator-applet & indicator-application installed or not.
If you already have them installed, try reinstalling libappindicator and then log out an back in.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libappindicator3-1 libappindicator1

Thanks for the answer, but already tried these things and didn't work, is it possible to connect to the wifi using network settings ?– PraveenApr 10, 2016 at 5:47

Yes it is possible to connect to wifi through network settings. The screenshot you provided shows you already know how to do that. The problem may be with your wifi drivers. Read this question and answer, it will help you detect whether your wifi device and drivers are ok. elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/1578/… Apr 10, 2016 at 8:08
Fixed after re-installing the network manager
