In 2006, Takia appeared in Satish Kaushik's comedy Shaadi Se Pehle. Loosely influenced by an old Hindi movie, Meri Biwi Ki Shaadi, it opened to predominantly negative reviews. Released on 6 April 2006, the film eventually under-performed at the box office grossing worldwide. Rajeev Masand described her performance as, "Ayesha Takia has precious little to do, and that's a pity because she's such a spontaneous actress".[25] She next played the protagonist in Naseeruddin Shah-directed drama Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota (2006), co-starring alongside an ensemble cast Konkona Sen Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Jimmy Sheirgill, Paresh Rawal, and Boman Irani.

Shubhra Gupta for Indian Express commented, "No Smoking is no good. Not because it doesn't have a superb idea. It does. But because it is too bizarre, too outré, too out of it. It stops us from connecting".[30] The film failed to perform well at the box office and eventually becoming one of the major disasters of the year.[31] No Smoking, however, received three nominations viz. Filmfare Award for Best Art Direction, Filmfare Award for Best Cinematographer, and Filmfare Award for Best Special Effects at the 53rd Filmfare Awards.[32]

The film stars Takia as Sheila, the fiancé of Akshaye's character. Critical response towards Takia's performance received moderate reviews: Rajeev Masand stated, "Ayesha plays the role of Jai's (Akshay) fiancé and it doesn’t leave much of an impression".[34] Taran Adarsh for Bollywood Hungama wrote, "Ayesha's role is natural and graceful".[35] The Times of India noted, "There's nothing really to cheer you up in the desultory proceedings, unless you want to watch Ayesha".[36] Wanted was given mixed reviews by most critics and became one of the highest-grossing films of the year, as well as Takia's biggest commercial success to date. Takia's role as Jahnvi, met with positive reviews. Rediff commented, "Ayesha Takia is given a truly raw deal. She's given a role that can only be described as insufficient".[37]

In 2010, Takia starred in the drama Paathshaala, alongside Shahid Kapoor. The film generated mixed reviews and emerged as a commercial failure. Her performance as a nutritionist Anjali Mathur was praised by the critics.
