Assam’s Dance Sensation Binita Chetry Captivates Hearts as Britain’s Got Talent 2nd Runner-Up!
Guwahati, June 1: The hills of Karbi Anglong have birthed yet another sensation. Nine-year-old Binita Chetry has pirouetted her way onto one of the grandest stages of them all—“Britain’s Got Talent,” where she claimed the title of second runner-up, dazzling a global audience from her humble roots. With her journey marked by grit and grace, she proves that talent knows no borders.
The vibrant Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma, couldn’t contain his pride. In a sprightly social media post, he lauded Binita’s stunning performances that have mesmerized viewers from the banks of the Brahmaputra to the Thames, succinctly encapsulating a sentiment we can all agree on: “Many congratulations to our very own #BinitaChetry.” Her rhythmic moves had not just audiences, but also critics, eating out of the palm of her hand-an achievement worthy of a cinematic script!
In a heartfelt video, Binita expressed her gratitude, showering thanks upon her myriad supporters, especially those across the UK who clicked "vote" and made her dreams tangible. Her voice carries a hint of innocence as she credits the encouragement from fans in India, Nepal, Bhutan, and beyond for fanning the flames of her ambition-a true testament to her steely resolve.
Not one to shy away from expressing appreciation, she specifically acknowledged Chief Minister Sarma and declared her wish to meet him personally, adding, “I hope this message reaches him.” It seems that in a world filled with stars, she yearns for a shining moment of connection-a delightful touch I can’t help but find charming!
Binita’s journey was bolstered by financial support from Tuliram Ronghang, the savvy Chief Executive Member of the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council, who graciously provided 5 lakh for her finale preparations, alongside backing from local MLA and Deputy Speaker Numal Momin.
Hailing from Talbalijan village near Bokajan, Binita’s father, Amar Chetry-a humble broiler chicken farmer-recognized her dazzling talent early on and made sure she received the best training, first in Guwahati and then in Jaipur. Under the discerning eyes of her aunt, Amrita Devi, and choreographer Hardik Rawat, she honed her craft, weaving intricate dance stories that left judges gasping for breath.
In this nail-biting finale, Binita emerged as the first Indian contestant to make it to the final round, a significant milestone in itself. While British magician Harry Moulding took home the coveted win, and LED dance group “The Blackouts” snagged the runner-up position, Binita’s breathtaking journey is one for the history books-encapsulating the magic of dreams dancing into reality.
The world is now watching, and I can’t help but wonder: what will Binita do next? Keep your eyes peeled, darlings; the spotlight is clearly just warming up for this rising star!
