Sorry to say but ASR role was nothing new. A anti-hero being the main lead of a serial has been done many times. Heck on another channel an out and out inhumane villain is the main lead of the show. So no point in comparing like that to elevate the mightinees of ASR.
All I will say is this. Guls M&B addiction gave us a very good, strong characterization of ASR. That combined with Barun's portrayal elevated the role of ASR.
If anything Kushi character was something new for SP channel. Even to date, there are very few heroines on SP channel, in prime time slot, who were given the strength and cofidence and fighting spirit Kushi had the first 6 months of this serial. She never wilted and cried rivers and prayed to God to give her strength to face her tormentors.
It is only fitting then that the first and last shots are on Kushi. But who knows, they may use a canned shot of BS as part of the last shot. But even then, we would know, that is a canned shot and hence the real end shot will be of Kushi.
ASR had La. Kushi had changed the behavior of almost every character in that serial. Turned ASR into Arnav. Turned La into someone everyone loved. Even turned around Mami during the kidnapping tracks. Anjali also could not be mad at her for too long and melted.
There is not other character who gave respect as much as Kush gave to other characters including HP and the Goat.
That is what Kushi always stood for. In between the characterization went for a toss, but to me, if anything, at all, Kushi and ASR character both fed off each other and hence neither is ASR role iconic nor Kushi role. If Kushi's characterization was not compromised her role would have been iconic because no other SP heroine would come close.
