Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan and his daughter Shweta visited politician Amar Singh at the AIIMS here on Sunday.

The former Samajwadi Party leader and a sitting Rajya Sabha member, an accused in the cash-for-vote scandal, was on Thursday granted interim bail till Sept 19 by a Delhi court.

Singh was languishing in the Tihar jail since Sept 6 and later when he complained of chest pain was hospitalized at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

Singh is a family friend of the Bachchans.

Singh was asked by the court to apply for regular bail on Sept 19.

He has been barred from foreign travels and had to furnish a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh.
