Britain's Got Talent creates history as the first Northeastern girl Binita Chetry from India reaches finale
In a historic event for India, particularly the Northeast, nine-year-old Binita Chetry of Karbi Anglong , Assam , has become the first entrant from the region to reach the finals of the world-known reality program Britain's Got Talent (BGT) 2025. Binita has earned her seat in the live grand finale, which will take place on Saturday, May 31, at 7 p.m. (UK time), following a stunning semi-final performance that captivated the hearts of fans and garnered the public vote.
Binita's audition stood out for her unusual blend of dance and martial arts , set to Tommee Profitt & FJØRA's version of "Eye of the Tiger." Though she did not win the coveted Golden Buzzer, her audition left a lasting effect. The judges, Simon Cowell , Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli, were effusive in their appreciation.
"You have the strength of a tiger and the flexibility of a python," Tonioli had said. Alesha Dixon said, "You were doing moves I've never seen before — it was mesmerising."
Despite missing the buzzer, Binita's fan base rose quickly, with viewers outraged at the rejection. Undeterred, the little dancer returned in the semi-finals with another captivating show, winning the audience vote and advancing to the final.
Binita, who comes from a modest family, moved to the UK with her father to chase a dream she had since childhood: to perform on the BGT stage. Her passionate comments and now-viral comments about winning the opportunity to "buy a pink princess house" have moved millions. "I've worked very hard for this," Binita remarked after winning the semi-final. "I'm thankful and I will give my best in the finals."
Her modesty, charisma, and pure brilliance have earned her a devoted following in both the United Kingdom and India. Binita is now among the top ten finalists on Britain's Got Talent 2025 , alongside magician Harry Moulding, musical group Hear Our Voice, and dancer Jasmine Rice. The winner will get a monetary award of £250,000 and the opportunity to sing at the prestigious Royal Variety Performance in front of the British Royal Family.
With only a few days till the finals, excitement is mounting. Supporters from Assam, India, and throughout the world are rallying behind Binita, hoping to see her go down in history as one of the show's youngest and most inspirational winners.
As the countdown begins, one thing is certain: Binita Chetry has already become a symbol of hope, talent, and determination, inspiring millions through her journey from Assam's hills to the grand platform of Britain's Got Talent.
