Banerjee was supposed to meet her Maharashtra counterpart Uddhav Thackeray, which did not happen owing to the Shiv Sena chief's health condition.
"Yes, I was interested to meet Uddhav Thackeray but he is not well. He is in hospital and the doctor has advised him not to meet anyone because of infection and all these," Banerjee said earlier in the day.
"His son Aaditya will come to meet me in the hotel," the TMC supremo added.
Besides this, the West Bengal Chief Minister visited Siddhivinayak Temple and Police Memorial.
During her Mumbai trip, she is expected to meet Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar and entrepreneurs.
