Tried to connect it to laptop using ethernet cable(purpose was to see R pi headless on my laptop screen.. at laptop shows Network unplugged . Does not show ip address in ip scanner.

This is not the way the Pi is designed to work. It assumes a network with a DHCP server. In this way it is no different to any other computer system. You could assign a static IP address, but you should refine your question and determine what you are trying to achieve.
