Rai has also received two Filmfare Awards awards for Best Actress, and has been honoured numerous times at Screen Awards and IIFA Awards ceremonies for her on-screen performances. She has won numerous awards at the International Indian Film Academy Awards, Star Screen Awards and Zee Cine Awards, among other ceremonies.
After a brief stint with modeling, Rai made her cinematic debut through the 1997 Tamil film Iruvar, a semi-biographical political drama, directed by Mani Ratnam.[5] She followed with Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya, which marked her Bollywood debut, and Jeans, her first commercial success.[5] The latter was India's submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for the year 1998.[6]
In 1999 Rai received critical acclaim and several Best Actress awards for her performances in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Taal; both films earned her a Filmfare Award for Best Actress nomination, with the former fetching her the award.[7] The following year, she starred in Aditya Chopra's musical romantic drama Mohabbatein, which earned her a Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination—her only nomination in the category until date—and was the highest-grossing film of the year. Rai received her second Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her role as "Parvati" in the period romantic drama Devdas (2002). Rai was appointed the member of the jury of the 2003 Cannes Film Festival; she was the first Indian actress to represent her country as a jury member in the festival.[8][9]
After a brief hiatus, Rai acted in the heist thriller Dhoom 2 (2006). The film featuring an ensemble cast was her first major commercial success post the release of Devdas. She won Most Glamorous Star of the Year along with Hrithik Roshan for Dhoom 2 in 2007. In the same year, she collaborated with Mani Ratnam for the second time in his biographical film, Guru. She portrayed the role of her future husband Abhishek Bachchan's wife gaining her a seventh Filmfare Award for Best Actress nomination. Rai Bachchan's portrayal as Jodhaa Bai in the 2008 epic film Jodhaa Akbar earned her another Filmfare nomination for Best Actress. She won the Outstanding Achievement in International Cinema at Awards of the International Indian Film Academy in 2009. In 2009, Rai Bachchan was awarded the Padma Shri, the fourth-highest Indian civilian award, for her contributions to Indian cinema.[10][11] Later that year, she was declared the Female Star of The Decade at the 10th IIFA Awards, held in Macau.[12]
In 2010, she made a comeback to Tamil film industry through Mani Ratnam's Raavanan and Shankar's science fiction film Enthiran.[5][Note 1] Rai Bachchan was nominated for the Best Actress for the ninth time for her performance in Guzaarish (2010); her third collaboration with Sanjay Leela Bhansali.[14] In December 2010, she was declared the Actress of the Decade at the BIG Star Entertainment Awards.[15] In March 2011, Rai Bachchan was honoured by Karnataka Chief Minister B. S. Yeddyurappa at World Kannada Meet (Vishwa Kannada Sammelana) for her contributions to the arts.[16] Later that month, she was presented with the Decade of Global Achievement Honour by FICCI.[17]
In 2012, she finally accepted the second-highest Order of France, Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.[10][18] Earlier, she refused it because her father was suffering from a serious illness, and she wanted her whole family to attend the award ceremony.[18][19] In a poll conducted by HollywoodBuzz to find "Top 30 World's Most Beautiful Women of 2014", Rai Bachchan made it to the fourth position winning over 4 million votes from around the globe.[20][21] During the Miss World 2014 award ceremony, Rai Bachchan was presented with a special Lifetime Beauty with a Purpose award for charitable work.[22]
