Naidu, who was crowned Miss India in 1955 and renowned for her beauty, starred in films including the award-winning Anuradha.
She went on to star in Merchant Ivory's The Householder in 1963, portraying a rebellious young bride.
Indian president Pratibha Patil said her work had "delighted Hindi film-goers across the country".
Film-maker Shyam Benegal, who directed Naidu in 1985 movie Trikaal, said her death was "a loss to the film industry".
He added that the actress, who once featured in a Vogue magazine list of the most beautiful women in the world, was "unpretentious and warm".
