In this context, this means "how are you ?".
You can answer:
(I'm (doing)) fine / ok / alright / so-so / great / not so well etc.

u mentioned in this context . that means also can be another meaning if context r different?

Yes. If your boss comes over at your desk and asks you how you're doing, he'll probably shake his head if you answer "I'd be fine but for a bit of a stomach ache". He meant how you were doing with your work. But then, he can sometimes inquire about your health before asking you to come to work next Saturday.
