Netflix's 'Sweet Bobby' Exposes Catfishing Ordeal

The Netflix documentary 'Sweet Bobby' chronicles the harrowing catfishing ordeal of Kirat Assi, who was deceived by her cousin Simran Bhogal for nearly a decade. Kirat believed she was in an online relationship with a man named Bobby Jandu, who turned out to be a fictional character created by Simran using over 60 fake profiles. The documentary reveals the extensive psychological and emotional manipulation involved, as Simran controlled the narrative and interactions while posing as Bobby. Simran ultimately confessed to the deception after Kirat hired a private investigator, leading to significant consequences for both women. The documentary, based on Kirat's 2021 podcast, aims to raise awareness and accountability for catfishing victims.
