Give me a reality check on this one

I use 'Yaar' as salutation a lot Which I assume (could be wrong) okay with friends

Today I realised I get taken in the flow and call my colleagues or work partners 'Yaar' too (not my boss though)

Is it wrong? It is perceived in a different way? Should I be conscious of this behaviour?

Yaar is considered normal in the same age group.

Age group how do you define?
I call millennial and GenZ yaar, should work no?

Adding one more dimension,

It depends on the region you are based of, If you are in North or West

Na it's fine. Use it as a strength.
Say in your family/upbringing it gets used as a term of endearment. If you accidentally use it - then just say because I'm comfortable with you or I care for you enough that it accidentally slips off my tongue. Use your weaknesses as strengths people.
