Where is the real Bobby Jandu now? Details about Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare subject explored

Bobby Jandu became an unintended victim of a huge catfishing scandal, which is now the subject of Netflix's Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare. The documentary looks at how Simran Bhogal catfished her cousin, Kirat Assi, for nine years with Jandu's identity. Kirat Assi believed that she was in a long-term relationship with Bobby Jandu, only to realize that she had been catfished for nearly a decade.

The long-drawn scam, which nearly destroyed Kirat Assi's life, is the subject of the one-and-a-half-hour Netflix documentary Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare. It is worth noting that the documentary is based on Tortoise Media's podcast, Sweet Bobby.

The synopsis for the documentary reads:

"A woman's online courtship takes an unsettling turn when she learns that her romantic interest harbours a dark secret and sinister motives, leading to a harrowing ordeal."

Bobby Jandu, a doctor in real life, is married and has a child. He was drawn into the scandal in 2018 when he and Assi realized that someone was using his identity to catfish her. He has since helped Assi in seeking justice. He also became a victim of identity theft and has come forward to share his story on multiple platforms.

He currently remains loyal to his family and his profession and is based out of Brighton and Hove, England. He also remains involved in the legal battle against Simran Bhogal but focuses primarily on his career and family.

Who is Bobby Jandu, and how did he get involved in the catfishing scam?

Bobby Jandu is a dental surgeon based out of Brighton. He knew Simran Bhogal through his brother, JJ, whom Simran dated. Since they were a part of the Sikh community in England, Simran and Bobby knew each other quite well. However, the doctor did not know or talk to Kirat Assi.

He became involved in the crime when Bhogal used Jandu's photos from his social media account and his name to talk to her cousin Kirat Assi. Simran befriended and pretended to fall in love with Assi, while the real Jandu had no idea what was happening.

Though Bobby was married to Sanj Jandu and shared a child with her, Bhogal also used these photos and made up a story that Sanj was his former partner. She also claimed that the fake Bobby and Sanj had accidentally conceived a child after their separation. The truth came out after Kirat confronted Bobby at his house.

How did Kirat Assi discover the truth about Bobby Jandu?

Jandu only met Kirat for the first time when she showed up at his house, claiming to be his girlfriend. He clarified to her that they had never talked, and soon they discovered that Bobby's photos were used to deceive Kirat. He allegedly reached out to Simran for clarification.

When Simran broke down the events that took place, Bobby and Kirat realized the extent to which Simran had gone. Simran apologized to the doctor and asked him not to press charges, but this did not stop Bobby from helping Kirat when she reported her cousin to the authorities.

He further went on to share this story in multiple forms, including in the Netflix adaptation.
