I have tried using dxf2shp converter in QGIS but the text in dxf file is being lost during the conversion process, despite selecting export text labels.
How do I convert the .dxf to .shp file without losing data?

There is quite a bit of missing information in your question.
Despite that here are some ideas.
1. I will assume your data is polygon. You should attempt to export the cad file as polygon and point files seperately.
The text will be your point file with the label point as the location. and the string value as an attribute.
2. use a spatial join (arcmap term) to join the attributes of the points to the polygons.
There is now native export into DXF in newer versions of QGIS which allows to export map layers including the labels:
More about the functionality can be found here: https://www.qgis.ch/en/projects/dxf-export
The DXF export functionality was developed by Jürgen Fischer (Norbit) and Marco Hugentobler (Sourcepole AG). The project was co-financed by SIGE (utility provider in Vevey) and the municipalities of Vevey, Morges and Uster.

Opening the dxf with
Add Vector layerand labelling withtextdatafield gives almost the same as Autodesk Design Review:The DXF file contains points and polygons in the same layer. This is not allowed in shapefiles. That is why you can not save it as a shapefile.
Exporting as kml will work, as this format supports different geometry types. You have to set
NameField=Textin theData SourceField to preserve the text into the Name field for labelling.EDIT
You can export the data as lines shapefile, and ignore the error messages. In a second run, you can export the labelling points by adding
SHPT=POINTSin theLayerfield, ignoring again the error messages. Load both shapefiles into QGIS manually, label the point file with theTextfield, and set the point symbol to zero size.
