About Binita Chetry
Binita's journey on BGT has been nothing short of inspiring. Her graceful and agile performances consistently won the hearts of viewers and the judging panel alike.

Her audition moment, where she endearingly spoke of her dream to win the competition and buy a “pink princess house,” resonated with many. She delivered one of the season’s most talked-about performances during the finale, dancing to “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” earning critical acclaim and audience admiration.
Binita credits much of her success to the steadfast support of her family, especially her father, Amar Chettri, a humble broiler farm owner in Bokajan, whose belief in her talent played a vital role in her journey.
