Who is Binita Chetry?

Binita belongs to a small village called Talbalijan near Bokajan. Her energetic dance performances led her to become the first contestant from India to reach the finals of the prestigious competition.

The British show was held on Saturday night, and the winner was announced as British magician Harry Moulding, while LED dance troupe The Blackouts bagged the runner-up position.

During her audition, Binita revealed she dreams of winning the competition to buy a “pink princess house.”

The young dancer was supported by the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC), which provided her with ₹5 lakh in financial assistance for her finale preparations. She also received support from Tuliram Ronghang, Chief Executive Member of KAAC, and Numal Momin, Deputy Speaker of the Assam Legislative Assembly.

Family Background

Binita’s father, Amar Chetry, is a broiler farm owner from Bokajan. Despite a modest upbringing, Binita’s determination remained unfazed. An executive member and district vice president of the All Assam Gorkha Students’ Union (AAGSU) arranged for the nine-year-old’s dance training—first in Guwahati and later in Jaipur.

Binita expressed gratitude to the Assam CM for his “immense support.” 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.”
