Yes Pankaj ji If we consider this taxon as belonging to species level then S. villosum Mill., 1768 is the accepted name (eFlora of China). On the other hand if it is to be considered as a variety then the correct name is S. nigrum var. villosum L. (eFlora of Pakistan).
Now the important question is which out of the two belongs to this taxon?: the photograph uploaded by Rasingam ji or one uploaded by me from Delhi (and the links I have provided; they all resemble my plant). The two seem clearly different. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
