Superlatives

Five actresses: Nirupa Roy, Farida Jalal, Jaya Bachchan, Rani Mukerji and Supriya Pathak hold the record of maximum awards (3) each. Six actresses have won the award twice; in chronological order, they are Shashikala, Simi Garewal, Raakhee, Rohini Hattangadi, Aruna Irani and Konkona Sen Sharma.

Four actresses have won the award in consecutive years: Shashikala (1963–1964), Supriya Pathak (1982–1983), Jaya Bachchan (2001–2002), and Konkona Sen Sharma (2007–2008).

Aruna Irani holds the record of maximum nominations (10), followed by Raakhee / Shashikala (8), Farida Jalal / Bindu / Rani Mukerji (7) and Rekha (6).

Shashikala holds the record of most consecutive nominations with 6 between 1963 and 1967, being nominated twice in 1967, winning twice in 1963 and 1964.

Eight actresses hold the record of maximum nominations in a single year. In chronological order, they are: Shubha Khote (1962), Shashikala (1967), Nutan (1974), Bindu (1975), Smita Patil (1984), Sushmita Sen (2000), Rani Mukerji (2005) and Konkona Sen Sharma (2008). Among these, the latter three won the awards in their respective years. The former five thus hold the record of not winning despite having multiple nominations, in a particular year .

Bindu holds the record of maximum nominations without ever winning, with 7, followed by Reema Lagoo, Waheeda Rehman and Tanvi Azmi with 4 nominations each. Six actresses: Dina Pathak, Bipasha Basu, Divya Dutta, Kirron Kher, Preity Zinta and Shefali Shah have received three nominations each, without ever winning.

Jaya Bachchan, who won 3 awards among 3 nominations, holds the record of winning maximum awards, without ever losing, whenever been nominated. Bachchan also holds the record of maximum awards in minimum time, winning thrice in four years. She won in 2001, 2002 and 2004.

Durga Khote, in 1975, became the eldest winner and eldest nominee, at age 70, whilst Ayesha Kapur, became the youngest winner and youngest nominee, at age 11.

Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor are the only siblings who have both won the award.

There was no repeat winner in the 1950s, on the contrary in the '60s three actresses had two wins, namely, Nirupa Roy, Shashikala and Simi Garewal. Again, '70s had no repeat wins, but Supriya Pathak achieved two consecutive wins in the '80s. Farida Jalal followed suit with two wins in the '90s. Jaya Bachchan took over in the 2000s with three wins. Until now, no actress is leading the 2010s.

Vyjayanthimala and Reena Roy are the only actresses to have not accepted the award. Both refused it for their roles in Devdas (1955) and Apnapan (1977), respectively, citing that their roles were leading and not supporting.

Only once have siblings been nominated for the award during the same year: Ratna Pathak and Supriya Pathak in 2010.

Fourteen actresses who have won both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards include Vyjayanthimala, Raakhee, Padmini Kolhapure, Nutan, Dimple Kapadia, Rekha, Karisma Kapoor, Jaya Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut, Priyanka Chopra and Shabana Azmi.

Two actresses were nominated for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards for the same performance: Nutan for Saudagar (1974) and for Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki (1979) and Raakhee for Doosra Aadmi (1978); Nutan won Best Actress award for Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki (1979).

Raakhee and Madhuri Dixit are the overall most nominated performers in the female acting categories, with 16 nominations overall, Raakhee having 8 for Best Actress and 8 for Best Supporting Actress, and Dixit having 14 for Best Actress and 2 for Best Supporting Actress.

Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra are the only two actresses to win Filmfare Awards in five different categories, while Kangana Ranaut has won in four categories. All the three actresses have won Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Female Debut awards once each.
