* Meena Kumari, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Rani Mukerji, Vidya Balan, and Alia Bhatt are the only actresses to have won the Best Actress award in consecutive years. Kumari won in 1954 and 1955, Bachchan in 1974 and 1975, Azmi in 1984 and 1985, Mukerji in 2005 and 2006, and Balan in 2012 and 2013. Bhatt holds the distinction of winning the award consecutively twice: in 2019–2020 and again in 2023–2024.
* A tied win occurred in 1974, when Dimple Kapadia won for Bobby and Jaya Bachchan for Abhimaan. Meena Kumari achieved a unique feat in 1963 by being the only nominee that year with all three Best Actress nominations. In the early years of the award, specifically 1954–1955 and 1956–1957, there was only one nominee.
* Vyjayanthimala is the only actress to win all her nominations without a loss, having won three times (1959, 1962, and 1965). She was also the first actor in Filmfare history to win both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards and the first to be nominated across all acting categories.
* Madhuri Dixit holds the record for the longest streak of nominations, with 10 nominations in 8 years between 1989 and 1996. Rani Mukerji has the most overall nominations in the primary female acting categories, with 21 in total: 11 for Best Actress, three for Best Actress (Critics), and seven for Best Supporting Actress.
* Actresses who received multiple Best Actress nominations in the same year and won include Shabana Azmi (four nominations in 1984), Meena Kumari (three in 1963), and Kajol (three in 1999). Others with two nominations in the same year include Vyjayanthimala (1959), Jaya Bachchan (1974), Raakhee (1977), Rekha (1981), Azmi (1985), Sridevi (1990), Juhi Chawla (1994), Madhuri Dixit (1995), Aishwarya Rai (2000), Preity Zinta (2004), Rani Mukerji (2005), Vidya Balan (2012), Deepika Padukone (2014 and 2016), and Alia Bhatt (2017).
* Several actresses received multiple nominations in the same year without winning. These include Jaya Bachchan (1972), Hema Malini (1975 and 1976), Madhuri Dixit (1996), and Kareena Kapoor (2010), each with two nominations in their respective years.
* Among actresses who have received multiple nominations without a win are Tabu (7 nominations), and Mala Sinha, Saira Banu, Manisha Koirala, Urmila Matondkar, Anushka Sharma, and Sonam Kapoorr with 4 each. Jaya Prada and Parineeti Chopra have received 3 nominations each without a win.
* Nutan was the eldest recipient of the Best Actress award, winning at the age of 42 in 1979 for Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki, her fifth win. Sharmila Tagore is the eldest nominee, receiving a nomination at age 61 for Viruddh (2006). Dimple Kapadia is both the youngest nominee and winner, receiving the award at age 16 for Bobby (1973).
* By decade, Meena Kumari led the 1950s with two wins, Nutan the 1960s with three, Jaya Bachchan the 1970s with two, and both Shabana Azmi and Rekha the 1980s with two each. Madhuri Dixit led the 1990s with four wins. Aishwarya Rai, Rani Mukerji, and Kajol each had two wins in the 2000s. Vidya Balan led the 2010s with four wins, and Alia Bhatt leads the 2020s with three wins.
* In 2002, siblings Karisma Kapoor (Zubeidaa) and Kareena Kapoor (Aśoka) were nominated in the same year. Several actresses have won the Best Female Debut award before winning Best Actress. These include Juhi Chawla (1994), Preity Zinta (2004), Kareena Kapoor (2008), Priyanka Chopra (2009), Vidya Balan (2010), Deepika Padukone (2014), Kangana Ranaut (2015), and Kriti Sanon (2021).
* Actresses who have won both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards include Vyjayanthimala (1958), Raakhee (1976), Padmini Kolhapure (1983), Nutan (1986), Dimple Kapadia (1994), Rekha (1997), Karisma Kapoor (1998), Jaya Bachchan (2001), Madhuri Dixit (2003), Rani Mukerji (2005), Kareena Kapoor (2011), Kangana Ranaut (2015), Priyanka Chopra (2016), and Shabana Azmi (2017). Mukerji is the only actress to win both awards in the same year.
* Some actresses were nominated for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in the same year but did not win either. These include Aishwarya Rai (2001), Rani Mukerji (2008), and Anushka Sharma (2016).
* Winners of both the Popular and Critics' Best Actress awards include Dimple Kapadia (1992), Karisma Kapoor (2002), Rani Mukerji (2006), Kareena Kapoor (2008), Vidya Balan (2011), Priyanka Chopra (2012), Kangana Ranaut (2016), Alia Bhatt (2017), and Taapsee Pannu (2021). Mukerji remains the only actress to win both for the same performance in the same year.
* Three actresses have won all four major female acting awards—Best Actress (Popular), Best Actress (Critics), Best Supporting Actress, and Best Female Debut. These are Kareena Kapoor (2011), Priyanka Chopra (2016) and Kangana Ranaut (2016).
* A few performances have been nominated in both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories. Nutan was nominated in both for Saudagar (1974) and again for Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki (1979), winning Best Actress in the latter. Raakhee was nominated in both categories for Doosra Aadmi (1978).
* Actresses nominated more than once for the same character across films in a franchise include Vidya Balan for Kahaani (2013, won) and Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh (2017), and Rani Mukerji for Mardaani (2015) and Mardaani 2 (2020).
* Actresses who won the Best Actress award for their debut performances include Dimple Kapadia (Bobby, 1973) and Lakshmi (Julie, 1975).
* In 2022, Kangana Ranaut's nomination for Thalaivii was rescinded after she publicly criticized Filmfare and demanded her nomination be withdrawn, accusing the awards of bias.[2]
