Banerjee went to see Devi in the hospital with a cake and spent around 45 minutes there, and inquired about her health.
The 90-year-old writer-activist, who has won a number of awards including the Jnanpith award, Padma Vibhushan and Ramon Magsaysay award, was admitted a few days ago to private hospital Belle Vue Clinic following complaints of breathing trouble and other age-related illness.
Doctors attending to her said Devi would be released from the facility tomorrow.
