The Filmfare Awards are one of the most prestigious awards in Indian cinema, recognizing excellence in the Hindi film industry. The Best Actress award is given annually to the leading female actor for an outstanding performance.

Among the actresses, Nutan and Kajol have both won the Best Actress award 5 times. However, the actress who holds the record for the maximum number of Filmfare Best Actress awards is Nutan, who won it 5 times for her performances in films like "Sujata" (1959), "Bandini" (1963), and "Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki" (1978).

It is important to note that while Kajol also has 5 wins, the record is shared, but Nutan is widely recognized as the first to achieve this feat. More recent actresses like Vidya Balan and Kangana Ranaut have also won multiple times but have not surpassed this record.
