Sidrah Yasmin, a local businesswoman and owner of Sidrah's Kitchen, held the event in Romiley to raise money for The Christie, Europe's largest single-site cancer centre.

This was the second year the Christie Bollywood night has been held, and it included a raffle and an auction to raise money for the charity.

£3,780 was raised in total.

Organiser Sidrah said: "From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

"Every raffle prize donated, every ticket purchased, every message of encouragement and every helping hand made a difference.

"This amount is absolutely incredible, and knowing it will help support The Christie Charity makes it even more special.

"A huge thank you to everyone involved in making Bollywood Christie's Charity Night such a success.
