Unable to proxy pass to https backend on nginx

Bad Gateway indicates the backend you are sending to is not valid in some way - check the nginx error.log output to see what happened when trying to send it to your proxypass'd backend

Subject: Unable to proxy pass to https backend on nginx

I am unable to reverse proxy to my https backend. what am i doing wrong? I
am using the same set of cert for the backend and frontend as I am running
them both on the same machine. I got my certificates from zerossl. Here is
the error I get :

curl --cacert /etc/ssl/certs/ca_bundle.crt https://www.ravi.guru

   <body>
   <center><h1>502 Bad Gateway</h1></center>
   <hr><center>nginx/1.16.1</center>
   </body>
 </html>
In my /var/log/nginx/error.log I get this:

2020/09/06 01:50:53 [error] 2603#0: *4 upstream SSL certificate verify
error: (2:unable to get > issuer certificate) while SSL handshaking to
upstream, client: 192.168.103.15, server: www.ravi.guru, request: "GET /
HTTP/1.1", upstream: "https://192.168.103.15:8080/", host: "www.ravi.guru"

When I connect to backend directly, all goes well:

curl --cacert /etc/ssl/certs/ca_bundle.crt https://www.ravi.guru:8080
