Filmfare Award For Best Female Playback Singer
The Filmfare Best Female Playback Award is given by Filmfare as part of its annual Filmfare Awards for Hindi films, to recognise a female playback singer who has delivered an outstanding performance in a film song.
Although the award ceremony was established in 1953, the category for best playback singer was introduced in 1959. The award was initially common for both male and female singers. The category was divided in 1968, and ever since there have been two awards presented for male and female singers separately.
