Hi Pradeep,
When you are playing the ball down the line to their backhand side it is a shorter distance. So you need to put a little more topspin on the ball to get the ball up and down over the net and on the table.
Also play the ball slower to start with till you get used to the distance.

Forehand Topspin Variations
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.

What is the forehand drive?
Forehand Counterhit. This is the same thing.
