But from what I remember, the competition in the lead category was too tough that year and Rani would not have been able to win.
So Filmfare stuck her in Supporting on purpose so they could give her an award.
As I said, they should just let actors submit themselves in whatever category they want. If they're not good enough, don't nominate them instead of putting them in another category and then giving them that award.
It happens in the Oscars where actors figure out which category is easier to win and submit in that one. Even if they're a lead, they will deliberately go in Supporting or vice versa depending on where the competition is easier.
