In 1994, Danny Denzongpa became the only actor to be nominated twice in the same year, although he did not win.

She and Priyanka Chopra (Aitraaz, 2004) are the only female actors to have won in this category. Other female nominees include Urmila Matondkar (Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya, 2001), Shabana Azmi (Makdee, 2002), Bipasha Basu (Jism, 2003), Preity Zinta (Armaan, 2003), and Amrita Singh (Kalyug, 2005).^[2]
