• A tied win occurred in 1974, when Dimple Kapadia won for Bobby and Jaya Bachchan for Abhimaan .

• Vyjayanthimala is the only actress to win all of her nominations without a loss, having won three times (1959, 1962, and 1965). She was also the first actor in history to be nominated for — and win — awards in both the leading and supporting categories, as well as the first person to receive dual nominations in the same year across all 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).

• 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 Kapoor r 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).

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]
