Hi Kamran,

It may be that you have a backhand grip when you are hitting the ball.  This will curve the ball to the left like you are describing.

Firstly work on your grip remaining the same for both forehand and backhand.  Get a grip that is neutral to both.  This will make the forehand smash work better for you.
