Both are forms of the Past Participle of the verb "burn". See for instance here.
I think that nowadays there is a tendency toward using regular verb forms, so "burned" is more frequent. Although, there's something to be said about the difference between "burnt" and "burned", similar to those forms of the verb "hang". A toast can be "burnt" when it's served to you for breakfast, but the passive voice is likely to involve the form "burned".

so if we have to use a verb just after 'got' we will use the past participle form of that verb?? or just past form – Mayank Gupta Aug 30 '15 at 21:06

Past participle, if you want to produce passive voice. "Got run over", "got stuck (in traffic)", "got forgotten". – Victor Bazarov Aug 30 '15 at 21:09
