Filmfare Awards are one of the most respected honours in the Hindi film industry. From starting with just five awards in its first ceremony in 1954, the 68th edition of the ceremony saw awards being given in 29 different categories. The Filmfare Award for Best Actor has been a constant since the first edition when it was awarded to Meena Kumari for Baiju Bawra.
Nutan and her niece Kajol have won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress five times each, the highest ever by a leading lady. However, the record for receiving the most nominations in this category belongs to Madhuri Dixit, who has been nominated a total of fourteen times and has ended up winning four times out of those. She also holds the record for most consecutive nominations as she was nominated ten times consecutively from 1989 to 1996.
