Can I claim HRA if I don’t live with my grandparents?

I am a 23 year old currently working in an MNC on a WFH basis. My father has a government job which means I currently stay in government quarters with my parents and hence do not pay any rent. My grandparents however live in Kolkata, and I was wondering if I could take an HRA deduction from them if I can create a rental agreement with them, since I do not stay there most of the time.

Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
