Sweet Bobby viewers have one major question after Netflix true crime documentary

As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of true crime documentaries and podcasts, I must say that Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare is one for the books. The story of Kirat Assi’s nine-year catfishing ordeal, led by her cousin Simran Bhogal, leaves me with a mix of awe and disbelief.

Unraveling Bobby’s Catfish Crisis: Delving into One of the Internet’s Most Perplexing Catfishing Incidents, Leaving Many Netflix Watchers Wondering About Kirat Assi’s Cousin, Simran Bhogal.

Before we get into it, if you’re not familiar with the case, there are spoilers ahead.

The recently released true crime documentary draws its plot from a podcast with the same title, focusing on the intricate nine-year tale of Kirat who found herself believing she was in a romantic relationship and even engaged to a man named Bobby Jandu.

Throughout their bond that began as camaraderie, Kirat became acquainted not just with Bobby, but also numerous of his friends and relatives. They even initiated group conversations with his cousins and interacted with his spouse, Sanj.

It became apparent to Kirat that Bobby and Sanj had parted ways, that Bobby had been wounded in an incident in Kenya, and eventually sought refuge under the Witness Protection Program in New York.

In the course of their growing bond, Bobby proposed to Kirat, and disclosed that Sanj was expecting a child as a result of a chance encounter the night before.

Bobby sent pictures of his baby boy to Kirat, convincing her that she would be a stepmother to him. Here’s the thing: Bobby, Sanj, and their baby are real; they just didn’t know Kirat existed.

For nearly a decade, Kirat believed they were in a relationship with their cousin Simran, only to discover that Simran had been using false identities for as many as 60 individuals, weaving an intricate tapestry of deceit to control Kirat.

The biggest question remains: why did she do it? Although she’s not been clear since the truth came to light, some experts believe it’s either related to control or insecurity, or even a mixture of both.

Since the Netflix documentary has been released, it’s sparked a new query: how did this transition occur for Simran? As per the Sweet Bobby podcast hosts, Simran moved on from education to a career in financial services.

Even someone who’s unemployed would have had a hard time maintaining the constant interaction between Kirat and Bobby, let alone all of the other identities she assumed.

Following the disclosure, it became clear to Kirat that Simran had gone to great extents to deceive her. On several occasions, while I was with Simran, she seemed preoccupied with her smartwatch, and I would receive messages from Bobby at those same times.

“Now I realize that she was messaging me as Bobby while with me.”

This was raised in a Reddit thread discussing the doc, with the top comment stating, “Who has the time and energy to make up 60 FAKE PROFILES AND KEEP UP WITH THEM?”

Another responded, “For real, her cousin is insane. I’m wondering how she had so much time on her hands. As a school kid I guess it makes sense, but after school when she started working.

How on earth did she manage the time? With all the administrative tasks, character notes to jot down, and the role of ‘Bobby’ likely demanding plenty of time, it seems quite a challenge!

Not only did he play this game with strangers, but also with his friends and family for nearly a decade? Incredible! It seems like her life was equally entangled in this deception, much like Kirat’s.

“Only difference is she consented to it. She is a deeply sick and horrid person. I think she just enjoyed controlling her cousin and seeing her unravel.

As a gamer, I can tell you that she skillfully maneuvered me into quitting my job, pushing me away from my pals, and transforming me into a hermit. It was almost as if she took pleasure in changing my vibrant, jovial, prosperous cousin into a shadow of herself.

One viewer was so shocked at the elaborate ruse, they believe Simran may have had someone else in it. “I wonder if the cousin told others about it? It is so much for one person to do,” they said.

And then, staying up late for work calls with her? One might wonder if her parents were unaware of her late-night activities? Didn’t they ever question what she was doing up so late during her youth? Was this girl devoid of companionship? Or could some of her friends have been in on it too?

In my perspective, it’s baffling to fathom the persistence of such a lengthy deception – nine long years! Perhaps, the constant comparison between her and her cousin by her parents may have fostered an intense dislike within her. This could have driven her desire to witness her downfall.

It’s chilling to see how something as seemingly insignificant as a little white lie escalated into an all-consuming fixation and multiple online personas. It seems likely that she got so deeply immersed in this fictional world that she became utterly captivated by it.

Some people think stronger measures need to be taken to avoid similar occurrences in the future. One individual expressed, “It seems that Facebook could prevent such instances if they prohibit the creation of numerous accounts from a single IP address.

“Because this is crazy. She would’ve had to make 60 emails too for all the different accounts.”
