After starting 2006 with special appearances in three films, Chopra starred in [[Rakesh Roshan]]'s superhero film ''[[Krrish]]'' (a sequel to the 2003 science-fiction film ''[[Koi... Mil Gaya]]''). Co-starring with [[Hrithik Roshan]], [[Rekha]] and [[Naseeruddin Shah]], Chopra played a young television journalist who schemes to take advantage of an innocent young man with remarkable physical abilities, but eventually falls in love with him. The film was the second-highest-grossing film of the year in India and grossed over {{INRConvert|1.17|b|0}} worldwide attaining a [[Blockbuster (entertainment)|blockbuster]] status.<ref name=boi06>{{cite web |title=Box Office 2006 |url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=210&catName=MjAwNA |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131010014505/http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=210&catName=MjAwNA |archive-date=10 October 2013 |website=Box Office India |access-date=26 October 2010}}</ref> Her next film was [[Dharmesh Darshan]]'s romantic comedy ''[[Aap Ki Khatir (2006 film)|Aap Ki Khatir]]'', co-starring [[Akshaye Khanna]], [[Ameesha Patel]] and [[Dino Morea]]. Neither the film nor Chopra's performance were well received.<ref name=journey2 /> Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com stated that Chopra's portrayal of Anu was "erratically sketched" and that her character was never consistent: "first flaky, then cool, and later, sensitive".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2006/aug/25aap.htm |title=Watchable, Akshaye ki Khatir |work=Rediff.com |date=25 August 2006 |access-date=8 June 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130426073009/http://www.rediff.com/movies/2006/aug/25aap.htm |archive-date=26 April 2013}}</ref>

Chopra's final release of 2006 was [[Farhan Akhtar]]'s action-thriller ''[[Don (2006 Hindi film)|Don]]'' (a remake of the [[Don (1978 film)|1978 film of the same name]]), with [[Shah Rukh Khan]]. Chopra portrayed [[Roma (Don character)|Roma]] (played by [[Zeenat Aman]] in the original film), who joins the underworld to avenge Don for killing her brother. Chopra received martial-arts training for her role in the movie, and performed her own stunts.<ref>{{cite news |title=Little film action for female stunt artistes |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Little-film-action-for-female-stunt-artistes/articleshow/8131566.cms |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130510085423/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-01/mumbai/29492819_1_stunts-film-industry-action-scenes |url-status=live |archive-date=10 May 2013 |author=Dubey, Bharti |date=1 May 2011 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=5 September 2012}}</ref> The film was declared a box-office success in India and overseas, with revenues of {{INRConvert|1.05|b|0}}.<ref name="Lifetime" /> Raja Sen of Rediff.com found Chopra to be film's "big surprise"; he believed that Chopra convincingly portrayed Roma, "looking every bit the competent woman of action" and wrote "This is an actress willing to push herself, and has definite potential for screen magic.

=== Setbacks and resurgence (2007–2008) ===
In 2007, Chopra had two leading roles. Her first film was [[Nikhil Advani]]'s ''[[Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love]]'', a romantic comedy-drama in six chapters with an [[ensemble cast]]. She was featured opposite Salman Khan in the first chapter as Kamini, an [[Item number|item girl]] and aspiring actress who tries to land the lead role in a [[Karan Johar]] film with a publicity gimmick.<ref>{{cite web |title=Box Office 2007 |url=http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=214&catName=MjAwNw |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131010031210/http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=214&catName=MjAwNw |archive-date=10 October 2013 |website=Box Office India |access-date=26 October 2010}}</ref> Film critic Sukanya Verma praised her flair for comedy, especially her impressions of [[Meena Kumari]], [[Nargis]] and [[Madhubala]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Salaam-E-Ishq: Stars shine in mediocre film |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/jan/26salaam.htm |author=Verma, Sukanya |work=Rediff.com |date=26 January 2007 |access-date=7 June 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005091022/http://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/jan/26salaam.htm |archive-date=5 October 2013}}</ref> Both ''Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love'' and her next film, ''[[Big Brother (2007 film)|Big Brother]]'', proved unsuccessful at the domestic box office.<ref name="journey2" />

In 2008, Chopra starred opposite [[Harman Baweja]] in [[Harry Baweja|his father's]] ''[[Love Story 2050]]''.

The string of poorly received films ended when Chopra starred in [[Madhur Bhandarkar]]'s ''[[Fashion (2008 film)|Fashion]]'', a drama about the Indian fashion industry which followed the lives and careers of several fashion models.
