<p>Actor-producer Raghu Ram of "Roadies" fame is aware people perceive him as a "ruthless" man, but he doesn't care. <br /><br /></p>.<p>"Image is something I never think about. It is not something that I cultivated. If people think I'm a ruthless man, maybe I'm not because I'm not what people think of me.<br /><br /> And if they think I am a soft guy, then I don't think I am a soft guy just because people think so," Raghu told IANS.<br /><br />"I have never done anything with the objective of people liking it. If I start doing that, I will fail," he added.<br /><br />Raghu, whose rough and tough avatar is seen on MTV's youth-based adventure show "Roadies", says he feels satisfied with whatever he does.<br /><br />"At least at the end of the day, I feel satisfied that I was part of something. That is what I work towards. If somebody likes the tough Raghu, great! If somebody hates the tough Raghu, great," he said in a nonchalant tone.<br /><br />The 39-year-old has been an actor, producer, host and even a singer. He has recently been nominated in the category of best pop rock single for music band Agnee's number "Manmaani" for the Global Indian Music Awards (GIMA).<br /><br />Music was a passion for him since a long time. But he wants to take it more seriously now and is open to the idea of crooning songs in future too.<br /><br />"I wanted to learn music, but could not. I would like to take this forward. Of anything, I love music the most. It is something that gives me a lot of happiness. (But) I don't know if I am good enough," Raghu said.<br /><br />"If I get another opportunity, I would do it. I'm not looking for an opportunity, but I have a feeling that one of these days I am going to nag Agnee again," he added.<br /><br />Asked if he is nervous about competing in the same line with established singers like Ujjayinee Roy and Shilpa Rao, the actor said: "I'm excited. Music is something very close to my heart and I love it."<br /><br />"I know I'm not a trained singer. Getting nominated is way beyond awesome, (especially) being nominated in the same stage as filmy and non-filmy music."</p>
