Hi Haris,
This is a common thing. Everyone prefers one side to receive. It is a matter of giving yourself more opportunity to receive using your forehand. Try moving a little to your left in your receiving position. This will allow you to reach the ball better with your forehand. Then make a rule for yourself during training that you only receive with your forehand if the serve comes to the forehand box.
You will start to develop the touch that is required.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
