Here is the solution:

Rename the folder mysql/data to mysql/data_old
Make a copy of mysql/backup folder and name it as mysql/data (like before you had data folder name)
After that, copy all your database folders except mysql, performance_schema and phpmyadmin folders from mysql/data_old into mysql/data 
Copy mysql/data_old/ibdata1 file into mysql/data folder
Now open the XAMPP control panel to start the MySQL service and works fine !
