As this award was instituted in 1991, it could not be given to some of the biggest, baddest screen villains in Bollywood history:
- Amjad Khan for the evil dacoit Gabbar Singh in Sholay (1975)
- Pran (1950s and 1960s) and Prem Chopra (1970s and 1980s) played heavies in many movies.
- Amrish Puri, as well as many other villain roles, portrayed the villainous Mogambo in Mr. India (1987). He was known for the phrase Mogambo khush hua (It makes Mogambo happy).
- Others : Jeevan, Ajit, Ranjit
[edit] Trivia
- Only two women have won this award till date, Kajol for Gupt and Priyanka Chopra for Aitraaz, though some other women (such as Bipasha Basu for Jism) have been nominated for this award.
