Filmfare Best Actress Award 1990's - 2008

Four actresses have won the award in consecutive years; in chronological order, they are Meena Kumari (1954-55), Jaya Bhaduri (1974-75), Shabana Azmi (1984-85), Rani Mukerji (2005-06).

Actresses who have won both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards include Vyjayanthimala, Raakhee, Padmini Kolhapure, Nutan, Dimple Kapadia, Rekha, Karisma Kapoor, Jaya Bhaduri, Madhuri Dixit and Rani Mukerji. Rani Mukerji is the first and only actress to win both these awards in the same year. Two actresses were nominated for both these awards for the same performance: Nutan (for Saudagar in 1974 and for Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki in 1979) and Raakhee (for Doosra Aadmi in 1978).

There has been only one tie in the history of this category. This occurred in 1974 when Jaya Bhaduri and Dimple Kapadia were both given the award.

Only once have siblings been nominated for the Best Actress Award during the same year: Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor in 2002.

In 1962 Meena Kumari was the only nominee, nominated three times, for Aarti, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, and Main Chup Rahungi.

Madhuri Dixit, with 13 nominations overall, holds the record for most nominations in the Best Actress category.
