Five times is the right answer.
M.K Gandhi was nominated five times between 1937 and 1948 for the Nobel Peace Prize, but he was never bestowed with the prize. His last nomination declared just weeks following his murder in January 1948. There are two major theories regarding the nomination of Mahatma Gandhi for the Nobel prize including, the Norwegian council at the time had a preference to non-Europeans or, the Norwegian council was worried about creating diplomatic dilemmas with the United Kingdom. Therefore, the assassination of M.K.Gandhi prevented him from receiving the Nobel prize.
