Hey Wasif!

It seems a new update to Genymotion causes the screen to automatically time out now. Not to worry though, you can turn it back on with the Power button:

Power button

You should also be able to increase the timeout time by going to Settings >> Display >> Screen Timeout:

Increase timeout time

Hope it helps :)
