Assam's 9-year-old Binita Chetry bags third place on Britain's Got Talent

Assam's Binita Chetry secured third position on 'Britain's Got Talent' 2025 final. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma congratulated the nine-year-old on her achievement on social media.

Assam's Binita Chetry's remarkable feat on Britain's Got Talent 2025 earned her applause from audiences and impressed Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The Chief Minister congratulated the nine-year-old for making India proud on a global platform.

Sarma shared a video of Binita on his X handle where she is seen standing with her co-contestants at the Britain's Got Talent finals. The Assam CM captioned his post as, "Dancing her way to glory. Many congratulations to our very own Binita Chetry on securing the 3rd spot at Britain's Got Talent final. Her performances have mesmerised audiences from the Brahmaputra to the Thames and made us all proud."

In the viral clip her name is announced as the second runner-up, securing third position on the international reality show. When the anchor asks her experience, she says, "I am very happy and proud of myself, and it's the best experience." As the audiences cheered and clapped for her, the nine-year-old expresses gratitude with folded hands.

The finals were held in the UK on May 31. The winner received a cash prize of 250,000 pounds and an opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance later in 2025. British magician Harry Moulding won the competition, while second place went to LED dance group 'The Blackouts.'

Binita from Bokajan in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district, became the first contestant from India to reach the finals of the prestigious competition on the global stage. During her audition, she shared her dream of winning the competition to buy a 'pink princess house.'

Binita's father Amar Chettri, a broiler farm owner from Bokajan, played a crucial role in her journey. An executive member and district vice president of the All Assam Gorkha Students’ Union (AAGSU), he had arranged for the nine-year-old’s dance training first in Guwahati and then in Jaipur.

Binita also expressed gratitude to the Assam CM for his "immense support and blessings." She said, "I want to personally meet our Chief Minister, Himanta Mama, in Guwahati, and thank him for his immense support and blessings in my journey. I hope this message reaches him, and I get the opportunity to meet him."
