"If I had put on those short skirts looking the way I did earlier, I'd have looked pretty stupid," Mukherjee told the Mumbai Mirror newspaper in an interview published Thursday. "I knew I had to get seriously slim."
Mukherjee said she gave her gym instructor a hard time because she was focused on losing weight for a role that takes her from a college student to a mother of two.
"I made my trainer's life a living hell. I don't think he has ever had a more demanding client," she said.
The weight training and exercise paid off.
"I got slim," she said. "That's the magic mantra."
In the movie "Tara Rum Pum," scheduled for release next week, Mukherjee and popular Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan play college sweethearts whose marriage hits trouble when Khan is seriously injured in an accident.
Mukherjee, known as one of India's most talented actresses, has starred in several hits, including "Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna" or "Never Say Goodbye" and "Bunty aur (and) Babli."
