Bhamini Joseph, who goes by the name of Bambi, played scammer Simran Bhogal in the documentary, which tells the horrific story of how Kirat Assi was catfished for nearly a decade.
The real Simran declined to take part in the programme, and Bambi's images were used on fake social media profiles instead, to portray Kirat's story.
Based on the Tortoise podcast of the same name, Netflix's Sweet Bobby reveals that the man Kirat thought she'd been speaking to, who was in fact a real person, was actually her cousin Simran.
Simran had created several fake profiles, trying to manipulate Kirat into thinking she'd been talking to Bobby's family and friends.
She took to TikTok to explain: 'I'm making a video today to talk about the new Netflix movie Sweet Bobby and my role as Simran.'
Bambi confirmed that she wasn't the real Simran, saying: 'I feel like I have to say that here because some people still think that I am, but I am an actor who was hired to portray a character.'
