Hi Shashank,

To do this you need to brush the ball on contact.  If you think about the bat just touching the outer edge of the ball and not hitting through the ball you will start to generate spin.

To get the spin on the forehand topspin, you need to have different swings depending on the amount of spin coming to you.  If there is a lot of backspin on the ball then you will need to start lower and brush the ball up.  If there is a lot of topspin on the ball then you will be able to come more forward on the ball and start higher.
