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.
