In 1956, at the age of 17, she married Tilak Raj Oberoi, son of Mohan Singh Oberoi, the founder of the luxury Oberoi Hotels chain. Tilak Raj, known as "Tikki", was 33 years old at the time. Naidu and Oberoi had twin daughters, Maya and Priya. The brief marriage ended in divorce, and Oberoi won custody of the girls. Subsequently, Naidu met philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti while in London, and was deeply attracted to his teachings. In 1969, she was married for the second time, to Mumbai poet Dom Moraes. They lived in Hong Kong, New York, New Delhi, and Mumbai for about 25 years. After the relationship ended, Naidu led a somewhat reclusive life in Colaba, Mumbai.

Her grandsons are Adam Oberoi Bateman, born in June 1992 in New-Delhi to Maya Oberoi Naidu and John Bateman from London. And the other grandson of Leela is Erwan Shrikant Oberoi Guitton, born 11.2.1993 in New-Delhi to Priya Oberoi Naidu and Yvonnick Guitton De La Verrie, a French man.
