Hi guys!
I finally managed to fix my Windows Defender. I had to restore the service using registry key. And also make changes in the registry using steps mentioned on articles online.
I restored the WD default registry key through the steps provided here this restored my service of Windows defender.
Services - Restore Default Services in Windows 8
It seems that the registry key for WD of Windows 8.1 is same as that of Windows 10.
I also followed the steps mentioned here:

And

So far it's working fine. Will report back if I see anything weird pop up as I did fiddle with the registry keys.
Thanks for the help davidhk :)
