Former Congress MLA Yasodha, veteran actress Saroja Devi and South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce vice-president Kalyan were among those who visited the hospital on Monday to enquire about Jayalalithaa’s health.
“She is a great lady. She will return home and meet the people. I spoke to the doctors and was told by them that she was recovering,” Saroja Devi said.
Jayalalithaa, initially admitted for fever and dehydration, was being treated for an infection with respiratory support among others.
In the last medical bulletin issued on October 21, the hospital had said she was “interacting and progressing gradually”.
