Actress Deepika Padukone's fan following on Facebook has crossed 15 million, and as a mark of appreciation, she has decided to give her fans an opportunity to chat with her live on Facebook Wednesday.

Her Facebook page is www.facebook.com/DeepikaPadukone, and it very recently crossed 15 million likes.

Deepika, who gave four back to back hits like "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" and "Ram-leela" last year, has always considered her fans to be the reason behind her success, and she makes it a point to express her gratitude in her own small ways, said a source.

"This Facebook chat seems to be yet another token of appreciation to her fans all over the world - her way of acknowledging that her fans mean the world to her," the source added.
