You can get title with following code on tableviewcell click method

UITableViewHeaderFooterView* header =[self.tableView headerViewForSection:indexPath.section];
NSLog(@"Header text = %@", header.textLabel.text);

In Swift

let sectionHeaderView = table.headerViewForSection(indexPath.section)
let sectionTitle = sectionHeaderView?.textLabel?.text
