Tabular Response in Microsoft Azure Bot Framework (Python)

Question

I have created a bot using azure bot SDK and want to show response in tabular format. Currently, I am retrieving data from DB in a DataFrame object, then using DataFrame.to_html() to convert it to str object and then sending a response to Bot Framework Emulator using :

await turn_context.send_activity(response)

On UI the response is presented as enter image description here

I want to show a proper tabular structure. What's the correct way of doing it?
