Short answer: not really, especially outside of larger tourist-oriented shops with a poor exchange rate. Your best bet is to use an ATM in Hungary if possible.

The only universally accepted currency in Hungary is the forint, but euros are easily exchanged (at good exchange rates) and may be accepted as is (at poor exchange rates) in larger restaurants, shops, etc.
So if you have to have cash in hand before you arrive, rupees → euros → forint is likely an OK way to go, although you will lose twice on the exchange. However, withdrawing forints from an ATM in Hungary will almost certainly get even better rates.

Withdrawing at airport ATMs is OK. Exchange rates at the airport will likely be bad, but doesn't really matter for small sums.
