Note
  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Vyjayanthimala is a former Bollywood and Kollywood actress who also appeared in Tollywood and Bengali films. With the multilingual films Vazhkai, Jeevitham and Bahar, she was introduced into the world of cinema by A. V. Meiyappan and discovered by M. V. Raman. She achieved stardom with the blockbuster Nagin (1954). After the success of those films, her career later focused more on Hindi films where most of her films were commercially successful besides being received well by critics. She occasionally made appearances in Tamil films where she is also regarded as one of the most successful actresses.[1] Besides her ability as an actress, she is also an accomplished dancer who introduced semi-classical dances in Bollywood films and predated the concept of item numbers. Furthermore, she was the first South Indian actress who became a national star which paved the way for other South Indian actresses to foray into Bollywood.[2]

In addition to acting recognition, Vyjayanthimala also received some honors for her achievements in classical dancing where she is a trained Bharata Natyam dancer. Apart from acting in films she has also occasionally performed for her dance shows all over India and abroad.
