How to say 'If you don't mind' in Hindi?

In English, the phrase 'If you don't mind' is a highly polite, massively respectful 'softener'. We stick it at the beginning of a sentence when we are about to ask a massive favor, ask a highly personal question, or interrupt someone, to ensure we don't sound rude or aggressive. Hindi has a beautiful, exact equivalent.
