Dear Chilukuri,

You can easily fix this, but will need to do it carefully to avoid damage. Using an electric drill with a bit that is smaller than the hole in your bridge, drill out the broken pins. Then what''s left of the pins after drilling them out can be pushed through into the guitar. You can then shake the parts and shavings out through the sound hole. When you go to get your get new pins, take your guitar in to the shop for them to be fitted, as there are slight variations in size and you need to get a proper fit. Also, buy a string winder that has a bridge pin remover attachment and have the guy at the music shop show you how to use it.
