Netflix's 'Sweet Bobby' Reveals Decade-Long Catfishing Orchestrated by Cousin

Kirat Assi's shocking catfishing ordeal by her cousin Simran Bhogal is explored in a new documentary.

  • Kirat Assi was deceived for nearly ten years by her cousin Simran Bhogal, who posed as a man named Bobby Jandu.
  • The elaborate scheme involved over 60 fictional characters, deeply impacting Assi's personal and professional life.
  • Assi discovered the truth in 2018 after confronting the real Bobby Jandu, who was unaware of the impersonation.
  • Despite a civil court ruling in Assi's favor, Bhogal faced no criminal charges due to the lack of catfishing laws in the UK.
  • Simran Bhogal has since left her job and maintains no online presence, while Assi seeks accountability and justice.
