If your response is exactly as shown, then you don't need a regex: use string.Split instead:

C#

string response = "AT+CMGR=2 +CMGR:\"REC READ\",\"+919529081800\", \"0\", \"0\",,\"11/02/21,20:06:38+22\"\n" +
                  "\n" +
                  "This is a test message,0,12,0\n" +
                  "\n" +
                  "OK";
            string[] lines = response.Split('\n');

Ignore the first and last lines, and you have the text.

Use it for each and every message!
What works for one will work for all!
Be brave!

To add to Toli's comment:
Using this on each message individually also prevents problems that make teh regex even more complicated. What happens to the regex if I send you an SMS saying:
OK
AT+7HOURS WE DEPART.
If you process them all together, the "OK" on it's own line looks like the end of a message, and the "AT+" looks like it could be the start of another...
