- Prithviraj Kapoor (1971) and Sridevi (2018)

Answer: Prithviraj Kapoor (1971) and Vinod Khanna (2017)
Prithviraj Kapoor received the award posthumously in 1971 — the award was presented to his son Raj Kapoor at the 19th National Film Awards. Raj Kapoor himself then won the award sixteen years later in 1987. Vinod Khanna died in April 2017 and the award for that year was given to him posthumously. These are the only two posthumous awards in the prize's entire history.
