Hi Vibhu, This works automatically for certain sites if they implement a standard called oEmbed (http://oembed.com/). Several sites like Flickr, Youtube etc support providing a thumbnail for a url within their domain. Django has several packages which support oEmbed, of which, I have used micawber ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/micawber) very successfully in the past.
For a general solution, you will need to download the page in the background and parse it for a representative image. Hope this addresses your question.
