Rohit your Forehand is quite interesting.
You have some great elements on your swing and some other elements that are not so great.
I think your backswing is too big and is hurting your swing since you are not having enough time to accelerate the racquet on your forward swing.
On your backswing your racquet is going too far up above your head, too far back and too far left behind your body. That's why you tend to move back a lot on the court on the forehand side.
You are lacking a lot of extension and your right elbow is too tucked in close to your torso at contact point. During contact your right shoulder and right elbow stops moving forward. Your right hand its not going forward enough in front of the body during the followthrough.
How to change all that?
I think you need a complete restructure of your Forehand. Starting on your Unit turn and keeping the racquet going lower and more towards the right side of the body. With a smaller swing but with a bigger turn you will develop more acceleration on your forward swing because you will have more time available. That will allow you to hit the ball more in front of the body and therefore will be easier to extend more.
Starting the forward swing with the racquet positioned on the right side of the body is a common thing to the pros forehands.
I think you can develop such a forehand. All you need is strong visual clues with clear steps and we need to address those steps one by one. I have already started visualizing how your forehand may evolve for the near future. Because you have some strong elements on your swing I think the changing of your swing should not be very difficult, although it may require a lot of practice.
