  The famous hoop conjecture by Thorne has been claimed to be\ violated in
curved spacetimes coupled to linear electrodynamics. Hod \cite{Hod:2018} has
recently refuted this claim by clarifying the status and validity of the
conjecture appropriately interpreting the gravitational mass parameter $M$.
However, it turns out that partial violations of the conjecture might seemingly
occur also in the well known regular curved spacetimes of gravity coupled to
\textit{nonlinear electrodynamic}s. Using the interpretation of $M$ in a
generic form accommodating nonlinear electrodynamic coupling, we illustrate a
novel extension that the hoop conjecture is \textit{not} violated even in such
curved spacetimes. We introduce a Hod function summarizing the hoop conjecture
and find that it surprisingly encapsulates the transition regimes between
"horizon and no horizon" across the critical values determined essentially by
the concerned curved geometries.
