(March 18, 2025) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma wished that one day she may own the ‘Pink Princess House’ of her dreams, while industrialist Anand Mahindra called her ‘Monday Motivation.’ At just eight years old, Binita Chetry from Assam has captivated audiences with her breathtaking dance moves on Britain’s Got Talent, turning into a viral sensation overnight and making the entire nation, especially the people of Assam, proud.
In a moment that stunned the viewers worldwide, Binita twirled, flipped, and danced her way into the hearts of millions on Britain Got Talent’s stage. Her electrifying performance not only won her a standing ovation from the audience and the judges but also set social media ablaze.
From her hometown of Amarajan in Assam, to the grand stage of one of the world’s most prestigious talent shows, Binita’s journey stands out not just for its brilliance but also for the maturity she brings at such a young age.
A dream stage and a pink princess house
Clad in a dazzling outfit and brimming with confidence, Binita faced the panel of judges — Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli with an infectious enthusiasm. When asked what brought her to Britain’s Got Talent, she simply said, “Britain’s Got Talent is my dream stage, and I want to win it.” Her answer to what she would do if she won? “I would like to buy a pink princess house.”
Her performance was nothing short of breathtaking in the eighteenth season of the competition, which began airing at the end of February and is set to conclude in May 2025.
With high-energy moves, impeccable flips, and mesmerizing choreography, the eight-year-old showcased a level of maturity and skill far beyond her years. As the final note of her routine lingered in the air, the entire auditorium erupted in thunderous applause, with all four judges rising to their feet in admiration.
A star in the making
Beyond her latest triumph on BGT, Binita has already made a mark in the dance world. She was the first runner-up in the All-Style Dance Competition (Solo) in August 2024 and is a contestant in Danceikon2 Wildfire, further proving her mettle on global platforms.

Her parents, who run a small poultry farm in Assam, made the difficult decision to send Binita to Guwahati for professional dance training. Eventually, she moved to Jaipur to live with her aunt, Anita Devi, where she trained under the expert guidance of choreographer and dance teacher Hardik Rawat.
Winning over the judges
Among the judges, one remark stood out in particular. “You had the strength of a tiger and the poise of a boa constrictor like a python on the stage. I love the mix of contemporary dance with the kind of Indian touches,” stated Bruno Tonioli, a British-Italian television personality, choreographer and dancer.
The appreciation for Binita’s performance from an expert with years of experience highlights her ability to blend cultural roots with modern dance forms, making her a standout contestant in a competition that features talent from around the world.

Another standout act from an Indian in recent years has been Mumbai teen Akshat Singh, a dancer who participated in Britain’s Got Talent 2022. He wowed the judges with his dance moves just like Binita.
