Answer by Ruchira Bhawnani:
All these are in the Indian context.
I think these people are/were personas in themselves.
They are used so often in regular communication that the names have become "Personas".Some more can be:
Mahatma Gandhi: when we say, Gandhian Philosophy, Gandhigiri and Majboori ka naam Mahatma Gandhi
Anna Hazare/ Arvind Kejriwal : When people say – " Ab kya kejriwal ki tarah dharna doon? "
Alia Bhatt: When people say "Ab Alia Bhatt jaisi baatein mat kar"
Sheikh Chilli: When people say – "Sheikh Chilli ki tarah sapne dekhna band kar "Please note, these are written for a healthy laugh, no offense intended.
Who were/are the people who made their name due to their persona itself?
