Is it possible to change status from H1B to F-2 after termination of H1B during grace period? Anyone has any idea? Or has gone through that before?

Unfortunately there is no grace period under H-1B after termination.

@bkscha: Yes you could apply for F-2 during the grace period of 60 days.

Documentation Needed:
G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance
A cover letter (one page) requesting the change of status from your current status to F-2. This letter should include a brief explanation as why you wish to change to F-2 status. You should also provide a checklist of the documentation you are including in your application.
USCIS Form I-539 Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status, including application fee.
Evidence of financial support (i.e., bank statement, F-1's assistantship letter, etc.).
Copy of your entire F-2 I-20 (the F-1 must sign the “Student Attestation” section on page 1 of the form before making a copy). Do NOT send your original I-20. USCIS does not require the original and will not return it.
Copies of all of the immigration documents (e.g. DS-2019, I-20, I-797, paper or print-out of electronic Form I-94, valid passport, visa stamp, EAD card, etc.) showing that you are currently in lawful non-immigrant status.
Copy of the waiver (if you were previously subject to the 212(e) Two-Year Foreign Residency Requirement while in J status), if applicable.
Copies of all of your F-1 spouse's/parent's immigration documents (e.g., I-20, I-797, paper or print-out of electronic Form I-94, valid passport, visa stamp, EAD card, etc.) showing that he/she is currently in lawful F-1 status.
Proof of your relationship with your F-1 spouse/parent (e.g., copy of marriage certificate, birth certificate, passport information).

Yes, @istmaitra bro USCIS now gives 60 days grace period to find another job or change your status for H1B, this rule was passed in 2016 which states the below:

Establish a grace period of up to 60 consecutive days during each authorized validity period for certain high-skilled nonimmigrant workers when their employment ends before the end of their authorized validity period, so they may more readily pursue new employment and an extension of their nonimmigrant status.
