Netflix's 'Sweet Bobby' Reveals Shocking Catfishing Orchestrated by Cousin

The documentary explores Kirat Assi's eight-year ordeal of being deceived by her relative, Simran Bhogal, who posed as a fictional romantic partner.

Kirat Assi was catfished by her cousin Simran Bhogal, who created multiple fake profiles to maintain the deception for eight years.
The relationship began on Facebook, with Bhogal posing as Bobby Jandu, a cardiologist, and escalated to emotional manipulation and coercive control.
Assi's suspicions led her to hire a private investigator, which eventually revealed the real Bobby Jandu had no knowledge of the situation.
In 2020, Assi took legal action, resulting in a settlement and a private apology from Bhogal, though no criminal charges have been filed.
The documentary aims to raise awareness about the lack of legal protections for catfishing victims and the need for accountability.
