I have no idea as to what is the best way to implement this.OR How to persist data in the session variable. And how to use persisted data in the session variable in across the controller.

I usually write a Session wrapper that allows me easy access to it in the future:

public class SessionData
{
    const string ClientId_KEY = "ClientId";

    public static int ClientId
    {
        get { return HttpContext.Current.Session[ClientId_KEY] != null ? (int)HttpContext.Current.Session[ClientId_KEY] : 0; }
        set { HttpContext.Current.Session[ClientId_KEY] = value; }
    }
}

After that you can access it from anywhere like this:

int clientId = SessionData.ClientId;

If you want you can use whole objects in Session like this.

Or you can set it like so: SessionData.ClientId = clientId;
