I have tried this

elif command == 'bold':
    telegram_bot.sendMessage (chat_id, str("*bold*"), reply_markup=markup)

But it is replying *bold* instead of bold

You need to provide a parse_mode Parameter (parse_mode="Markdown").

Or else you will not see any markdown style.

sendMessage(chat_id, "*this text is bold*", parse_mode= 'Markdown')

See
