How to get main menu-toolbar back in Android Studio IDE ?

Android Studio IDE's main menubar is one of the essential parts of the IDE. From simple primary operations (Such as Open, Create, Save projects) to many advanced operations can be done using the main menu/toolbar and it is very frustrating when you accidentally hide that menu/toolbar because IDE's many components are controlled by that menubar and you lose control over those components as you are not able to access the main menu .

Let's see how we can fix it...
