Actress Soha Ali Khan is elated after being able to raise 100,000 pounds from charity dinner held in London. The money will go to the Pataudi Trust, which will use it for curing blind people in India.

"What a fantastic night! We raised 100,000 pounds which will all go towards eradicating curable blindness in India. Heartfelt gratitude," Soha posted on Twitter.

"We are eternally grateful to Jeffrey Archer (British author) for making tonight such a huge success. Thank you. You helped us raise 100,000 pounds," she added.
