It is not illegal for two consenting adults to exchange nude photos. If your parents file a complaint against your boyfriend with the police, meet the police and tell them that you love your boyfriend and that you both have mutually shared the photos with each other. The police will not register any case on your boyfriend.

Sending nude pictures is obscene Offence. It attracts IPC provisions and be punished. But since the girl is major now, the case will not stand if the girl does not give complaint. The parents cannot give complaint. Hence, there is no problem to you as of now.
