Top 10 Bollywood Actors Who Have Won The Highest Awards In Best Actor Category

1. Dilip Kumar

Certainly the best artist in the history of India, Dilip Kumar has bagged the maximum number of awards. Acted in nearly sixty films; the “tragedy hero” has won the best actor award eight times for films like Ram Aur Shyam, Naya Daur, ‘Daag’, ‘Kohinoor’, ‘Leader’, ‘Azaad’, ‘Devdas’, and ‘Shakti’. He is the holder of Dadasaheb Phalke Award and Padma Bhushan for his contribution to Indian Cinema.

2. Rajesh Khanna

"Pushpa I Hate Tears” is the first thing that crosses our mind when we hear the name, Rajesh Khanna. He was the one for who references like “King of Romance” and “Superstar” came into the picture. He received Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Award and Padma Bhushan for his outstanding performances. With an unbroken record of fifteen back to back hits, he brought home three best actor awards. Films like ‘Anand’, Sachaa Jhutha, ‘Avishkaar’ are certainly unforgettable.

3. Amitabh Bachchan

You never feel the need to describe ‘The Amitabh Bachchan’ in terms of awards. An unending array of blockbusters like ‘Don’, ‘Black’, ‘Hum’, Amar Akbar Anthony, ‘Paa’, has resulted in five best actor Filmfare awards for him. He is the first actor to get nominated for Filmfare awards nearly thirty-nine times. Wait! I never thought we had so many Filmfares. Three National Awards and a Padma Bhushan on the rack is all that is needed to be the “Shahenshah”.

4. Shah Rukh Khan

What less do you expect from an actor whose film was continuously reeled in Maratha Mandir for decades! With movies such as ‘Swades’, ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, ‘Devdas’, ‘Baazigar’, ‘Chak De India’, and ‘My Name Is Khan’, Shah Rukh has received eight Filmfare awards. Not lagging behind, he is even honoured with Padma Bhushan.

One of the finest actors in Indian Cinema, Naseeruddin Shah is honoured with three national awards, Padma Bhushan, Padma Shri and three best actor Filmfare awards. His remarkable skills deserved it all.

The Perfectionist never lags behind. With Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan and two Filmfare awards, there is no stopping for Aamir Khan. After the international acclaim of ‘Lagaan’, he has successfully marked himself as a producer, director and an actor in Bollywood.

7. Dev Anand

Some actors remain evergreen. Dev Anand is one of them. He has done almost 114 movies and received two Filmfare awards for ‘Guide’ and ‘Kala Pani’. He was also honoured with Padma Bhushan and Dadasaheb Phalke.

8. Kamal Haasan

Remember ‘Chachi 420’! Kamal Hassan has justified every role with his versatile acting. He received three national awards, a Rashtrapati award, and one Filmfare award. Kamal Haasan is indeed one of the most precious gems of Indian Cinema.

9. Hrithik Roshan
