Coming up: Vidya's bizarre Ghanchakkar style

Just when you thought you couldn't part Vidya Balan from her saris, she leaves you doing a double take in this get up. Her next release Ghanchakkar, in she plays a Punjabi housewife, puts Vidya in this outlandish costume, which is just one of many.

Author Chetan Bhagat posted this picture on Twitter and wrote: "What happens when you marry a Punjabi? Well, you turn Punjabi." A reference to Vidya's husband of three months, Siddharth Roy Kapur?
