How can I put "Chapter" and "Page" below Table of Contents title like shown in picture? And I also have to carry these into next pages in my thesis if toc is more than one page.Thanks,
And it would be great if they are not hyperlinked

If you skim through a book the recto pages are much more prominent (in left-to-right typesetting). As a TOC or LOF is a reference entry into the book content, it is important to find its starting point easily. For that reason most style guides recommend starting it on a recto page. Same concept for chapter openings and other major elements.
However, as you remarked correctly, starting a 2-page TOC on a recto means that you have to turn the page to see all of it which may make comparison on the level of the TOC more difficult. So this is something you need to decide how important it is to see the complete TOC.
It is not completely unknown that (to save space) the frontmatter is sometimes compressed and TOC, LOF, LOT etc all run into each other disobeying the typical "start on a recto" rule. But if you do this then I suggest you think of a good "filler" in front of TOC and and LOT, e.g., a nice half title + a picture ... personally I would probably stick to the recto start.
Use \addchap{Abstract} to get an unnumbered chapter with an entry in TOC.
\documentclass[
listof=totoc% lists in TOC
]{scrreprt}
\setuptoc{toc}{totoc}% TOC in TOC
\usepackage{blindtext}% dummy text
\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{Roman}
\addchap{Abstract}
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\cleardoubleoddpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\blinddocument
\end{document}

My initial answer was written using etoc.
The main idea though, was taken over from karlkoeller answer: using
afterpage. The difference is that the method now is compatible with a TOC on many pages.I figured next that it could be done in a simpler manner. Thus, I provide here two codes: one not using
etocat all. But the formatting of the toc will have to be done by some package, liketocloft. The second usesetocto facilitate both the OP's constraint on the chapter headline and some formatting customisation. This second code sample has a somewhat more complicated document body. And on this occasion one sees something is not perfect for the last (fourth) toc page. I have not yet investigated which aspect ofafterpageis causing this.As this is done with Roman Numerals for chapters, some rather big spaces are used on the left.
