For three years consecutively she dominated the National Awards Best Actress category as she won laurels for her performances in Arth, Khandar and Paar.
After Arth, droves of women came to Azmi's home to share their sorrow and experience. She says,â They made me part of a sisterhood. Even after so many years the role of Pooja whose husband deserts her for an actress, manages to move viewers.â

Azmi is known for her characteristic real-life portrayal of her characters. In Mandi she acted as a madam of a *****house. For this role, she put on weight and even chewed betel. She played the role of a typical Indian urban wife and homemaker in Masoom. She got Filmfare nominations for both.
She famously said, âYou can never, never make a film like Pretty Woman. If you're a prostitute, you have to be rescued before anything happens. A woman can't have an affair. She can't have sex. If she does, she has to die in the end."

Shabana has also tried her hand at experimental cinema with a cause. Her willingness to portray the plight of women in India was apparent in Deepa Mehta's Fire.
The movie dealt with the sensitive issue of lesbianism and the onscreen intimate scenes were the first of their kind in the country. Naturally they drew a lot of protests . But Azmi was also rewarded for her incredible performance as Radha . The role brought her international recognition with the Silver Hugo Award for Best Actress at the 32nd Chicago Film Festival and Jury Award for Best Actress at Outfest, Los Angeles.
