Alia Bhatt Breaks Record at 70th Filmfare Awards
Alia Bhatt made history at the 70th Filmfare Awards, winning her sixth Best Actress trophy for her role in Jigra.
She surpassed legendary actresses Nutan and Kajol, who each had five Best Actress awards, with Nutan achieving this record in 1979 and Kajol equalling it with her win for My Name Is Khan.
Alia's win also marked three consecutive wins, a feat few have achieved. Meanwhile, Laapataa Ladies dominated the technical and supporting categories with 13 awards but did not win in the acting categories.
Netizens are questioning whether Alia is "worthy" of the Best Actress award.
Her award was for Jigra, in which she played a sister who attempts a daring jailbreak to save her brother.
