Amitabh Bachchan says he loved spending time with his "Cheeni Kum" co-star Tabu when she visited him at the Seven Hills Hospital, where he has been under observation since the past 12 days.

"The wonderful Tabu visited today and spent sizeable time, talking of many connected and unconnected issues. Of film and nature, of quality and appreciation and, of course, her own considerations on the kind of films she wanted to be associated with," Amitabh posted on his blog bigb.bigadda.com Wednesday night.

"A joy always to be with her," he added.

R. Balakrishnan's "Cheeni Kum", released in 2007, narrated a love story between an egoistic 64-year-old chef (Big B), who falls for a much younger girl (Tabu). The movie was critically acclaimed.
