Overview
- At the 70th Filmfare Awards in Ahmedabad on Saturday, Alia Bhatt won Best Actress for Jigra.
- The victory makes her the sole record-holder with six Best Actress Filmfare trophies and her third consecutive win.
- Her earlier Best Actress awards were for Udta Punjab, Raazi, Gully Boy, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
- Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies led the ceremony with a record 13 awards yet did not win in the acting categories.
- Jigra earned largely positive notices but grossed about ₹55 crore on a reported ₹80 crore budget, prompting divided online reactions over whether the repeat recognition is deserved.
