Hi Aman,
If you think of the ball sitting in front of you you can see the top of the ball and the bottom of the ball. If you think of the ball as a clock face then the top of the ball is 12 o'clock and the bottom is 6 o'clock. To generate sidespin you need to hit the ball at 3 or 9 o'clock.
Take a look at our Lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin. This will show you the technique you will need to make the hook and fade strokes.
