Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor
Indian film award category
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor is given by Filmfare as part of its annual Filmfare Awards for Hindi films, to recognise a male actor who has delivered an outstanding performance in a supporting role. Although the awards started in 1954, awards for the best supporting actor category started only in 1955. As of 2023, Anil Kapoor leads the list, with four wins. Vivek Oberoi (Company, 2003) holds the record for being the youngest recipient of the award, whereas Anil Kapoor has the record for being the oldest (Jugjugg Jeeyo, 2023). Abhishek Bachchan holds the record for winning the award thrice consecutively (2005, 2006 & 2007).[1]
