This s quite interesting nd very much useful…It wud b great f these topics are uploaded as video for better understanding!

@Pratham shiwal You need a motor controller which accepts serial input, and connect it to a Bluetooth device. You then need to find an APP which can send commands via Bluetooth. For more details, please create a new topic on the RobotShop Forum.
